According to Manusmriti, which among the following is NOT one of the means for men to acquire wealth?

Stealing

The correct answer is Option (3) → Stealing

According to Manusmriti, STEALING is NOT one of the means for men to acquire wealth.

For men, the Manusmriti declares, there are seven means of acquiring wealth: inheritance, finding, purchase, conquest, investment, work, and acceptance of gifts from good people.

For women, there are six means of acquiring wealth: what was given in front of the fire (marriage) or the bridal procession, or as a token of affection, and what she got from her brother, mother or father. She could also acquire wealth through any subsequent gift and whatever her “affectionate” husband might give her.
