3.11

yasyās tu na bhaved bhrātā na vijñāyeta pitā
nopayaccheta tāṃ prājñaḥ putrikādharmaśaṅkayā //

But a prudent man should not marry (a maiden) who has no brother, nor one whose father is not known, through fear lest (in the former case she be made) an appointed daughter (and in the latter) lest (he should commit) sin.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
