The girl herself who becomes wife, the sons born of her, the Ritvijas and preceptors and disciples and Upadhyayas present at the marriage all become liable to expiation if the girl gives her hand to a person other than he whom she had promised to marry. Some are of opinion that no expiation is necessary for such conduct.
भार्यापत्यत्विगाचार्याः शिष्योपाध्याय एव च। मृषोक्ते दण्डमर्हन्ति नेत्याहुरपरे जनाः॥
