adaṇḍyā sā bhavedrājñā varayantī patiṃ svayam.
svadeśe kanyakāndattvā tāmādāya tathā vrajet .. 227.128 ..

One who allows another to commit such a thing in his house is also worthy of being punished similarly The person who forcibly commits such an act with another woman is worthy of being killed outright but the woman so outraged is faultless If a virgin after getting menses for the third time in her father's house, seeks a husband for herself, should not be punished by a sovereign One who takes the girl away to a foreign land after marrying her in his own country is a thief and should be killed.—126-129

A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam
