Manu Smriti 3 51
न कन्यायाः पिता विद्वान् ग्रह्णियात् – शुल्कम् अणु-अपि। गृह्णन् – शुल्कं हि लोभेन स्यान् नरो अपत्यविक्रयी ।।
na kanyāyāḥ pitā vidvān grahṇiyāt – śulkam aṇu-api। gṛhṇan – śulkaṃ hi lobhena syān naro apatyavikrayī ।।
No father who knows (the law) must take even the smallest gratuity for his daughter; for a man who, through avarice, takes a gratuity, is a seller of his offspring.
English Translation
विद्वान् पिता, कन्यादान में कुछ भी उसके बदले में मूल्य न लेवे, यदि लोभ से कुछ ले लेता है, तो वह संतान को बेचने वाला होता हैं।
