3.1.10

suptāṃ rudatīṃ niṣkrāntāṃ varaṇe parivarjayet/

A girl should be taken as a wife, as also given in marriage, when fortune, signs, omens, and the words of others are favorable, for, says Ghotakamukha, a man should not marry at any time he likes. A girl who is asleep, crying, or gone out of the house when sought in marriage, or who is betrothed to another, should not be married. The following also should be avoided.

Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
