You asked what determines the closeness of children.. By closeness I don't mean "favorism". Maybe the term "kinship" I used isn't very accurate but in the example I cited a woman's daughter is closer to her (as she's part of her) than the husband, that's why the daughter's share is bigger than the husband's. So siblings are equal in this regard, but brothers have more financial liabilities than their sisters.

Sorry I seem to have misunderstood your question at first.. What I want in a case of a divorce is FAIRNESS. If a woman asks for a divorce, she can get it provided that she pays back what the husband paid her as dowry nothing more. If the husband divorces her then she doesn't pay the dowry back and as the wife isn't supposed to remarry for three months then he has to pay her an allowance for this period. The amount is determined depending on the couple's status and the husband's potential.. I believe that this is fair enough..
