Shloka 28
Prāyaścitta and Contextual Non-Culpability (प्रायश्चित्त-निमित्त-अदोषवाद)
निवेश्यं तु पुनस्तेन सदा तारयता हा | नतु स्त्रिया भवेद् दोषो न तु सा तेन
niveśyaṃ tu punas tena sadā tārayatā hā | na tu striyā bhaved doṣo na tu sā tena lipyate ||
毗耶娑说：若在长兄成婚之后，那先前已婚的幼弟为救度祖先而再行一次婚礼之仪，则不因那女子而得过失；那女子亦不因他所生之过而受玷污。

Educational Q&A
A remedial re-performance of the marriage rite, when done with the dharmic intention of benefiting the ancestors, does not generate moral fault; importantly, the woman is explicitly protected from blame or moral taint.
Vyāsa lays down a rule-like clarification about a complex marital situation involving elder and younger brothers: after the elder brother’s marriage, the younger brother may undertake a renewed marriage-sacrament for ancestral deliverance, and neither he nor the woman should be considered culpable on that account.
