All the adult male members share equally.

Illegitimate and adopted sons, if they have contributed their share of labour, have the same rights as the sons born in lawful wedlock.

The married daughter, on the contrary--being regarded as belonging to her husband's family--and the son who has previously separated himself from the household, are excluded from the succession.

Strictly speaking, the succession or inheritance is confined to the wearing apparel and any little personal effects of a deceased member.

The house and all that it contains belong to the little household community; and, consequently, when it is broken up, by the death of the Khozain or other cause, the members do not inherit, but merely appropriate individually what they had hitherto possessed collectively.
