akāmāyāḥ kumāryā vā sāhase uttamo daṇḍaḥ, sakāmāyāḥ pūrvaḥ sāhasadaṇḍaḥ //

When a man has connection with a prostitute against her will or with a prostitute girl (kumári), he shall be punished with the highest amercement. But when he has connection with a willing prostitute, (under age), he shall be punished with the first amercement.
