لِلْكُبْرَى for the elder

A 'for/in favor of' preposition is welded to a definite describing-word used on its own as 'the elder one'. The 'for' marks the beneficiary of the ruling, the one it goes to. The al- on the noun makes the elder a specific, identified person, and the preposition forces the post-preposition case.
