It is quite well known that if a woman is Pativrata , she will take her husband to heaven along with herself. That is Pativrata wife will accompany the husband in heaven or afterlife.
My question is - Do non-Pativrata women also accompany the husbands in afterlife ?
Do non-Pativrata women also accompany the husbands in afterlife ?
No. See the following verses:
Manu Smriti 5.160. A virtuous wife who after the death of her husband constantly remains chaste, reaches heaven, though she have no son, just like those chaste men.
5.161. But a woman who from a desire to have offspring violates her duty towards her (deceased) husband, brings on herself disgrace in this world, and loses her place with her husband (in heaven)
