MBh 13.19.8

Canonical Ref: MBh 13.19.8
Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
अनृताः स्त्रिय इत्येवं वेदेष्वपि हि पठ्यते । धर्मोऽयं पौर्विकी संज्ञा उपचारः क्रियाविधिः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
In the very Vedas one may read that women are false, The word 'Duty', as used in the Vedas, appears to have been coined first for general application. Therefore the application of that word to the rites of marriage is, instead of being correct, only a form of speech forcibly applied where it has no application.
