Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (manubh膩峁a):
鈥�Not in the prescribed manner;鈥欌赌�i.e., not wearing the white dress and observing such details.
He is not entitled to the property; i.e., he shall not be treated as the 鈥�碍峁迟谤补箩补鈥� son.
The brother-in-law 鈥榓nd the sister-in-law are both rightly regarded as 鈥榦utcasts,鈥� on account of their having not obeyed the restrictions, in the begetting of the son; since what is permitted by the scriptures is only such intercourse as is done in strict accordance with the rules laid down.鈥�(144)
