Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

E can inherit from C because the "iron curtain" rule, which prevents illegitimate children from inheriting from the legitimate family of their parent, does not apply between C and E. C and E have a direct parent-child relationship, allowing E to inherit from C despite the nature of E's birth.
