All common cases
Case 5

Two or more daughters with parents

A person passes away leaving both parents and two (or more) daughters, with no sons.

Eligible heirs

  • Daughters (2+)2/3 - shared equally, fixed share (no son present)
  • Mother1/6 - fixed share
  • Father1/6 - fixed share only, no residue remains

Blocked heirs

No relatives are blocked in this case.

Calculation steps

  1. Two or more daughters, with no son, share a pooled 2/3.
  2. The mother takes her fixed 1/6.
  3. The father takes his fixed 1/6.
  4. Total: 2/3 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1 - the estate is exactly exhausted, so the father receives no additional residue.

Example monetary distribution

Estate value used for this example: PKR 3,000,000

Daughters (2+)2/3
Mother1/6
Father1/6

Rule explanation

When two or more daughters are present alongside both parents, the fixed shares happen to sum to exactly one whole estate, leaving no residue for the father to add to his 1/6.
