It need disturb no one
that one law should originate two bases. The law is
twofold, and therefore has the force of two laws.1
To the son who desires to re-enter the family, the
disinherited's first reply is, “Even though you are
allowed to re-enter the family, I am still the heir.”
The basis will be the same as in the claim put forward
by the disinherited son, since the question at issue is
whether a disinherited son can inherit.
