9.71

na dattvā kasya cit kanyāṃ punar dadyād vicakṣaṇaḥ
dattvā punaḥ prayacchan hi prāpnoti puruṣānṛtam //

Let no prudent man, after giving his daughter to one (man), give her again to another; for he who gives (his daughter) whom he had before given, incurs (the guilt of) speaking falsely regarding a human being.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
