But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin 'daughter', if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.
And if ony man gessith hym silf to be seyn foule on his virgyn, þat sche is ful woxun, and so it bihoueth to be doon, do sche þat þat sche wole; sche synneth not, if sche be weddid.
