v4.c63.1258
Some of the smṛtis contain rules that appear to be only recommendatory. Āp. Dh.¹¹⁷³ S. II. 6. 14. 15 says that if even the eldest son or brother were to waste joint wealth in immoral or improper ways he should be given no share (by the father or brothers at a partition). To the same effect are Gaut. 28. 38 and Manu IX. 214.
