CHAPTER FIVE
ON RULE OF CHOICES
The right of having the choice to revoke a deal is just like other rights. If the holder of such right dies, it is transferred to his heirs. Those heirs who cannot receive a share of the legacy because of certain reason will not receive anything of this transferred right. If the contract in which such right is involved is for a property in the form of legacy that goes only to certain heirs like certain personal belongings of deceased which goes to the oldest son like one's ring etc., in which a wife has no share about such heir's having share in the transferred right of choice to annul a contract, there are several views; the one nearest to reality is that such heir is not deprived of having a share in the transferred right now as legacy and it belongs to all heirs, i.e. if one sells lands by a contract in which he has such right or has bought some land and he dies, this right will be transferred to his heirs including his wife.
CR (169) If the right of annulling a contract becomes legacy and there are many heirs to this legacy, obviously, annulling of the contract by only one of the heirs without the other will be of no effect to the whole contract or even to the ratio of his own share, unless the other party of the contract agrees to annul it proportionate to the share of this heir.
CR (170) If the heirs annul the contract formed by the deceased, and the substance of the price is available it is returned to the buyer, if the substance of the price is destroyed or is not available an amount equal to the price is taken from the legacy like other debts.
CR (171) If the right to annul the contract belongs to some one not related to the contract and he dies, the right will not go to his heirs.
CR (172) If goods are destroyed when the right, in the deal of animals, is valid, the seller will be responsible for it. The same rule applies if the merchandise is destroyed during the validity of the right of choice in the form of a 'stipulated right' of having choice in favor of the buyer. If 'stipulated right' is in favor of the seller or goods are destroyed during the validity of the choice based on the on-going session and after taking charge of goods, apparently, the buyer is responsible for it.
