Celsius, Digest, Book X. The question arises whether the dowry given by a paternal grandfather should be returned to the father after the death of the grandfather, the woman having died during marriage. The equity of the case seems to be that what my father has given to my daughter on my account is just the same as if I had given it myself, for the duty of a grandfather towards his granddaughter depends upon the affection which a father entertains toward a son, and because the father should endow his daughter, so a grandfather should endow his granddaughter for the sake of his son. But what if the son was disinherited by his father? I hold that it would not be absurd for the same rule to be maintained in the case of a disinherited son. I think that it is not an improper opinion that the son should be entitled to what was bestowed out of his father’s estate on his account.
