Did South abide the Law or bid illegally?
If unlawful, when did it go wrong:
* 1st bid should have been 2♥ not 2♣?
* 2nd bid should have been Pass (or 3♣) not 2♥?
* 3rd bid... ...how could South even think of a third bid with this hand?
* ...?...

One bid for each hcp? Have you shown your hand by now?

South's bidding looks okay to me except for a nagging worry about opps reaching 4♠.

I like the bidding. You are definitely a limited hand and it certainly doesn't sound like you are trying for game.

I would have bid 3♣ instead of 2♥ the second time.

I would have bid 3♣ over 2♦ because my hand is really all about clubs. Given the actual auction I don't know why that would stop me from my original plan so I think 3♣ is obvious. You have a 6-4, partner made a takeout double of 1♠ and my suit quality is of QJ109! Passing seems like a crime.
