स्त्रियः पुंसां परिददे मनुर्जिगमिषुर्दिवम् अबलाः स्वल्पकौपीनाः सुहृदः सत्यजिष्णवः

English Translation

Manu, on the eve of his departure from this world, made over women to the care and protection of men, saying that they are weak, that they fall an easy prey to the seduction of men, disposed to accept the love which is offered them, and devoted to truth.
