Manu 3.31
ज्ञातिभ्यो द्रविणं दत्त्वा) कन्यायै च-एव शक्तितः । कन्याप्रदानं स्वाच्छन्द्याद् आसुरो धर्म उच्यते) ॥
jñātibhyo draviṇaṃ dattvā) kanyāyai ca-eva śaktitaḥ | kanyāpradānaṃ svācchandyād āsuro dharma ucyate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
When (the bridegroom) receives a maiden, after having given as much wealth as he can afford, to the kinsmen and to the bride herself, according to his own will, that is called the Asura rite.
