The bold in black, is what the poster amarjeet has quoted.
The red is what I felt he has deliberately missed.

@Ray Sir, @Virendra. Please read the above and see if it is selective quoting to deliberately spread disinformation. Also please take a decision if such thing is and should be allowed.
Now, one can conclude why the poster snapped, when asked for the link.
What are you smoking buddy? I am sure that you are either drunk or have some eyesight problem, I am Vikramjeet not Amarjeet.What does red line suggest? Nothing. That Kautilya banned women from moving out is clear. Learn to read some basic facts. Yes I left out some details and now it is time to fill them.
Did you miss this?
Women of refractive nature shall be taught manners by using such general expressions as 'Thou, half naked; thou, fully naked; thou, cripple; thou, fatherless; thou, motherless, (nagne vinagne nyange pitrke matrke vinagne ityanirdesena vinayagrahanam). Or three beats either with a bamboo-bark or with a rope or with the palm of the hand may be given on her hips. Violation of the above rules shall be liable to half the punishment levied for defamation and criminal hurt. The same kind of punishment shall be meted out to a woman who, moved with jealousy or hatred, shows cruelty to her husband. Punishments for engaging in sports at the door of, or outside her husband's house shall be as dealt with elsewhere.
Wow , you need details. Buddy, when guys were licking their thumbs , I had finished reading this book.
It was as per kautilya's and Ancient indian morality that women moving out was considered transgression, you by highlighting this is exposing your entire ilk as even more clueless. You think red lines mean anything? so a woman should move out only with her near relative and never go out except for subsistence and pilgrimage? And if yes, what kind of 'liberal society' is this? Even Talibanis allow women moving out with near male relatives, so what?
Do not worry, I will be giving details from now on.
