(2) Where an employee who has retired on pension from the service dies within the period of twelve and a half years of his date of retirement, the Minister may grant to his widow or his widow and minor children or his minor children a derivative pension of the same amount as the pension which was paid or payable to the pensioner on account of his retirement, for a period not exceeding the difference between the period of twelve and a half years and the period during which the pension was paid or payable to the pensioner.

the grant of a derivative pension under this section by the Minister shall only be determined if the dependant elects to forgo the payment of a pension or allowance under such written law for the time being in force.
(5) A widow in respect of whom a derivative pension is granted under this section shall cease to be eligible for such a pension upon her re-marriage.
