Egyptian TS Wins InheritanceContributed by Jodie Almost more than she bargained for under Islamic law, a male heir inherits twice the amount that a female does. So when one male heir of a deceased millionaire had a sex-change operation, a brother asked an Egyptian court to limit him to a half share of the estate on grounds the brother had become a woman. Cairo's Al-Akhbar newspaper reported that the court in Alexandria, Egypt, ruled that the brother was entitled to a full share since he didn't have the operation until after his father's death. |
