Question

What is the law of primogeniture? Why was this law not followed by
the Mughals?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of primogeniture is that only the first born legitimate child is allowed to inherit all the money and area conquered by their father . mughals did not accept the primogeniture law because each of their wards should get equal share and that is why they followed timurid rather than primogeniture

Answer 2

Answer:

Primogeniture is the right, by law or custom,

of the firstborn legitimate child to inherit the

parent's entire or main estate in preference to

shared inheritance among all or some children,

any illegitimate child or any collateral relative. 

The Mughals did not have a law of 'primogeniture' i.e., a law, whereby, the first-born son would naturally inherit the throne. Hence, every time a king died, there was a war of succession among the contenders to the throne.
