Manu 3.51
न कन्यायाः पिता विद्वान् गृह्णीयात्)- शुल्कम् अणु-अपि । गृह्णन्)-शुल्कं हि लोभेन स्यान्) नरो ऽअपत्यविक्रयी ॥
na kanyāyāḥ pitā vidvān gṛhṇīyāt)- śulkam aṇu-api | gṛhṇan)-śulkaṃ hi lobhena syān) naro 'apatyavikrayī ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
No father who' knows (the law) must take even the smallest gratuity for his daughter; for a man who, through avarice, takes a gratuity, is a seller of his offspring.
