5.147
avyavasthānaṃ vacanīyatāhetuḥ kathito garhye kuryāditi | eṣāṃ hi viraheṣu nivasantī gacchantī vā grāmāntaramityadhyāhāryam |
Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The ground for ‘disrepute’ would consist in the irregularity of her life; this is what is meant by the words ‘would render both families disreputable.’ This passage has to be explained as ‘By living or going about in other villages, apart from the persons mentioned, &c., &c.’—(147).
