कन्यापितृत्वं दुःखं हि नराणां मानकाङ्क्षिणाम् ।
कन्या हि द्वे कुले नित्यं संशये स्थाप्य तिष्ठति ॥

M N Dutt

I have come hither with her, seeing of her husband. Verily being father to a daughter is misery to everyone that seekes one's honour. A daughter, forsooth, stayes, ever placing the two lines* in uncertainity. *The lines, namely, of her father and mother. The line of a mother as distinct from that of a father would be impossible under the present economy of Hindu society inasmuch as, as soon as a girl is married, she by that ceremony leaves her father's line and becomes incorporated with that of her husband. But this seems to have been otherwise in ancient times, This opens up an interesting social problem for the research of orientalists.
