pradāya kanyāṃ yo'nyasmai punastāṃsāṃ prayacchati .. 227.18 ..
One who marries a girl to another without telling her faults should be fined 96 Panas and one who mischievously and falsely declares a girl to be not good (a eunuch) should be fined 100 Panas. One who shows one girl and then marries a different one should be fined 1080 Panas (Uttam Sâhasa fine). The man who hiding his faults marries a girl is considered not to have married at all and should pay 200 Panas to the king. A man who weds his daughter to one and then again marries her to another should be fined 1080 Panas (Uttam Sâhasa fine). Similarly one who sells a thing to another after promising to sell it to some party falls from his position If he does so knowingly he becomes of that caste himself—55
