If a man was married to two wives and died, the first [wife] taxes precedence over the second, and the heirs of the first wife take precedence over the heirs of the second. If he married a first wife and she died and then he married a second wife and he himself died, the second wife and her heirs take precedence over the heirs of the first wife. |

If a man was married to two wives and they died, and subsequently he himself died, and the orphans [of one of the wives] claim their mother`s Kethubah [but the estate of the deceased husband] is only enough [for the settlement of the] two Kethubahs [all the orphans] receive equal shares. If there was a surplus of [a minimum of] one den a R, each group of sons receive the Kethubah of their mother. If the orphans [of one of the wives] said, `we are offering for our father`s estate one den ar more [than the total amount of the Kethubahs]`, in order that they [might thereby be enabled to] take their mother`s Kethubah their request is disregarded and the estate is [properly] valued at the Beth Din. |
