[PAULUS libro septimo ad Sabinum. ] §24.1.26.prSi eum, qui mihi uendiderit, iusserim eam rem uxori meae donationis causa dare et is possessionem iussu meo tradiderit, liberatus erit, quia, licet illa iure ciuili possidere non intellegatur, certe tamen uenditor nihil habet quod tradat.
[PAULUS, in the seventh book on Sabinus.] If I should order the person who has sold a thing to me to give it to my wife for the sake of donation, and he has delivered possession by my order, he will be released, because, although she is not understood to possess under civil law, certainly the seller has nothing left to deliver.
§24.1.26.1Ex quibus causis inter uirum et uxorem concessae sunt donationes, ex isdem et inter socerum et generum nurumue concessas Neratius ait.
Neratius says that from the same causes from which donations are permitted between husband and wife, they are also permitted between a father-in-law and a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law.
ergo socer genero mortis uel diuortii causa donabit, sed et gener socero mortis suae uel diuortii causa.
Therefore, a father-in-law will donate to a son-in-law on account of death or divorce, and also a son-in-law to a father-in-law on account of his own death or divorce.
