[77]
“You
have no right to disinherit, since a person who has
been deprived of civil rights is not allowed to take
legal action.” “I have the right, since disinheriting
is not legal action.”1 The question here is what is legal
action. And we shall arrive at the conclusion that the
son's disinheritance is unlawful, by use of the syllogism.2
The case will be similar with all the rational and legal
bases.
