Manu 5.154

विशीलः कामवृत्तो वा गुणैर् वा परिवर्जितः । उपचार्यः स्त्रिया साध्व्या सततं देववत् पतिः ॥

vi.śīlaḥ kāma.vṛtto vā guṇair vā parivarjitaḥ | upacāryaḥ striyā sādhvyā satataṃ devavat patiḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Though destitute of virtue, or seeking pleasure (elsewhere), or devoid of good qualities, (yet) a husband must be constantly worshipped as a god by a faithful wife.

Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
