As a textual rule as transmitted: 3.3.17 mandates return when husband initiates due to wife’s misconduct; 3.3.18 denies return when wife initiates due to husband’s misconduct. In practice, commentators and editions may contextualize with surrounding sutras; for implementation, cross-check the critical edition and adjacent provisions.
