the husband with his lonely daughter also would inherit much less as his share is only a quarter, while she would inherit the half and maybe the last quarter would be added to her share too.
Some other cases:
a) daughter (1/2), father (1/6 + rest) and mother (1/6) 
b) daughter (1/2) and =>2 brothers (share of the rest) 
c) 2 daughters (2/3, 1/3 each) and uncles (share of the rest)

  1. less than (more exactly the half of) a male of the same level (brother-sister, father-mother, grandfather-grandmother etc.): for example if there are sisters and brothers, a sister gets only a half of what her brother would inherit, a mother would also inherit only one half of what the father may inherit in absence of spouses and children (of their dead child).
    This applies in general in 4 cases:
    a) daughter and son,
    b) daughter of the son and son of the son,
    c) brother and sister (same parents),
    d) brother and sister (paternal).
  2. the same of a male of the same level: like father and mother if there are children (each of them will inherit one sixth) while the son would inherit the rest, also the brother or sister of the mother would get equal parts based on:

and this applies in cases such:
a) daughter and father, (note that the father only gets the half as there are no other heir as his real share is only one sixth)
b) daughter and son of the son (same situation the son of the son is only allowed to have the rest of the share, as there are no other heir his share would be half of the heritage)
c) daughter and a single brother (same as above the brother takes the rest) 3. more than a male of the same level: the husband with his two daughters (he would only inherit a quarter, while they would inherit two thirds, one third each of course if there will be a son this would change)

  1. she might inherit, while her male counterpart wouldn't inherit at all: like the case of a woman who has died leaving a husband (1/4), a father (1/6), a mother (1/6), a daughter (1/2) and a daughter of a son, in this case the daughter of the son my inherit a sixth while a supposed son of the son wouldn't inherit from his grandmother as his share is the last which would be considered as the rest in this constellation, but as each of the husband, father and mother have defined shares which already reach 100% nothing remainsand the daughter (as the child of the husband) has a stronger primacy than the son of a son (as he is male, but not for himthe daughter o the son)!
    An other case is that of a daughter (1/2), a sister (from both parents) and a paternal uncle (0). Here the daughter and the sister will share the whole heritage!
