सप्तार्तवप्रजातां वरणादूर्ध्वमलभमानः प्रकृत्य प्राकामी स्यात् न च पितुरवहीनं दद्यात् ॥ कZ_०४.१२.०८ ॥
saptārtava-prajātāṃ varaṇād ūrdhvam alabhamānaḥ prakṛtyā prākāmī syāt; na ca pitur avahīnaṃ dadyāt
若男子在选定(她)之后,仍未能得到一名已初潮且已历七次月经的少女,则按规定视为其享有权利(prākāmī)。并且不应令其交付任何会减少父亲应得份额之物(即不得对父亲作不当扣减/扣留)。
It standardizes when a claim becomes legally cognizable after formal selection, reducing ambiguity and litigation in marriage disputes.
The state also tracks guardian/family economic interests and prevents opportunistic deductions or withholding that would undercut the father’s recognized stake.
