The wife has made the claim immediately when the succession opened i.e., after the death of her husband.
The remarriage is her right which took place after she made her claim on the basis of the succession law, hence she is very much entitled to claim her rightful share out of her husband's terminal benefit.

Wife and children are legal heirs of a person. Hence can claim as one of the legal heirs. If the wife had been named as the nominee for life insurance, she is beneficial nominee for the insurance amount, to the exclusion of others under the amended insurance act.

As on the date of death of her husband she being the widow of her husband becomes his Class I legal heir and a successor in interest to succeed to his estates i.e., she becomes eligible to succeed to his estates by virtue of the succession act, therefore she is entitled to a share in the temrinal benefits of her husband along with other class I legal heirs, even though she contracted the second marriage subsequently, therefore the status as on the death of her husband is vital and will be considered to entertain her claim.
