The text explains that releasing a mortgagor from a mortgage can occur by transfer or by sale without assignment, keeping the borrower on the mortgage in some cases.

It abruptly adds a comment about the German State being so divine it can set aside moral scruples and religion, unrelated to the mortgage topic.
