4.12.8
saptārtavaprajātāṃ varaṇād ūrdhvam alabhamānaḥ prakṛtya prākāmī syāt, na ca pitur avahīnaṃ dadyāt //
No man who has connection with a maiden that has passed seven menses and has not yet succeeded in marrying her, though she has been betrothed to him, shall either be guilty or pay any compensation to her father; for her father has lost his authority over her in consequence of having deprived her so long of the result of her menses.
