3.2.25

nyāyopagatāyāḥ pratipattā strīdhanaṃ gopayet //

The kinsmen (gnátis) of a woman shall return to her whatever property of her own she had placed in their custody. Whoever justly takes a woman under his protection shall equally protect her property. No woman shall succeed in her attempt to establish her title to the property of her husband.
