Q: A man has 2 wives. He divorces the 2nd wife and he passes away after she completes her iddat: a) does the divorced wife inherit from her deceased ex husband? b) do the children of the divorced wife inherit from the 12.5% inheritance of the 1st wife? c) The daughter of the 1st wife predeceased her mother. Do the daughter’s heirs inherit from the 12.5% of their grandmother?
A: The divorced wife does not inherit from the ex husband after the Iddat has expired.
If the children of the divorced wife are his then they will inherit, otherwise not.
This depends on who all survived the grandmother.
