One who is desirous of his own prosperity, should never marry a woman who is of an inferior caste or who has fallen away from the caste of her birth. Carefully lighting up the fire, one should perform all those acts which have been ordained and declared in the Vedas or by the Brahinanas. One should never seek to injure women. Wives should always be protected.
अवरा पतिता चैव न ग्राह्या भूतिमिच्छता॥ अग्नीनुत्पाद्य यत्नेन क्रियाः सुविहिताश्च याः। वेदे च ब्राह्मणैः प्रोक्तास्ताश्च सर्वाः समाचरेत्।।१३६ न चेा स्त्रीषु कर्तव्या रक्ष्या दाराश्च सर्वशः।
