marriage. They are therefore not given any share in my properties under this

and the two sons aforesaid in equal shares absolutely.
7.
Though I have bequeathed no share in my properties to my daughters aforesaid,
as a token of love and affection for them I hereby direct my two sons KL and
MN that each one of them will pay to each one of my daughters a sum of
Rs…………………….. and this sum shall be a charge on the properties
allotted to my above sons respectively hereto.
8.
All the jewellery and ornaments, gold and silver, will belong to my wife

hereby appoint my two sons KL and MN as the joint executors under this
