By calling a person thief who, however, is not a thief, one commits a sin just double the sin of theft. The maiden who spoils her virginity incurs three-fourths of the sin of Brahmanicide, while the man who knows her incurs a sin equal to a fourth part of that of Brahmanicide.
अस्तेनं स्तेन इत्युक्त्वा द्विगुणं पापमाप्नुयात्। त्रिभागं ब्रह्महत्यायाः कन्या प्राप्नोति दुष्यती॥ यस्तु दूषयिता तस्याः शेषं प्राप्नोति पाप्मनः।
