The father and the mother of the girls may belong to the seventh and fifth gencrations respectively. Then they become sisters to the boy. If they get married to each other, even in this life they become Shudras. They may not have fallen. But they make their parents and others fallen. One docs not fall down by marrying a prohibited or low girl, if they are not contaminated. mirga farani yacofasterat aren afe garm- Aaaa fag: 1 agrafa afremmen at asa figya aged Aaaa R Once the sapindya relationship ceases to exist, one can marry a girl who may indirectly be related to his mother as her sister or as her daughter. This is allowed only in the countries south of the river Narmada. Even when the Sapindya relationship is concealed, marriages are allowed in the south of the Narmada between persons who belong to the generation within five and three of the father and mother respectively. enifofatta fier aaga area fosen giad afe Aai Teta fem fe agag moineda uia a gE frgeafirarqi Ro 1 Marriages among the twice-born within five generations of the father and mother, or within five generations of the mother and seven generations of the father; or within three gencrations—such marriages-violate Dharma.and the rules laid down by Dharma Shastras. In such a marriage the sin committed is cqual to that of killing a Brahmana. The daughter of the maternal uncle is on a par witha girl of his own Gotra in matters relating to debt, buying, women's assembly or fecding. Marriage with the daughter of one’s own maternal uncle, or with the daughter of the father's sister is forbidden.
