अलङ्कारं नाददीत पित्र्यं कन्या स्वयंवरा । मातृकं भ्रातृदत्तं वा स्तेना स्याद् यदि तं हरेत् ॥ ९२ ॥
A maiden who choses for herself, shall not take with her any ornaments, given by her father or her mother, or her brothers; if she carries them away, it will be theft.
पित्रे न दद्यात्शुल्कं तु कन्यां ऋतुमतीं हरन् । स च स्वाम्यादतिक्रामेद् ऋतूनां प्रतिरोधनात् ॥ ९३ ॥
But he who takes (to wife) a marriageable damsel, shall not pay any nuptial fee to her father; for the (latter) will lose his dominion over her in consequence of his preventing (the legitimate result of the appearance of) her enemies.
A man, aged thirty years, shall marry a maiden of twelve who pleases him, or a man of twenty-four a girl eight years of age; if (the performance of) his duties would (otherwise) be impeded, (he must marry) sooner.
The husband receives his wife from the gods, (he does not wed her) according to his own will; doing what is agreeable to the gods, he must always support her (while she is) faithful.
