Although it was common for two men to fight over a woman, or rather, two women fighting over a man, it was the first time they had heard of two women fighting over a dead man.
Both unanimously believed that they were his wife... unless the man had two wives. In that case, the two women were likely to know each other. It was also possible that the two women had married separately without knowing the truth, resulting in the two women not knowing each other.
Of course, there was another situation where two women were fighting over a dead person. It might be because of the inheritance. However, the two women, who did not know each other, were fighting over a dead body as its wives. It might be because of the inheritance. It was also possible that one of them was a fake and was fighting over a dead person for the inheritance.
However, these people were all wrong.
