== Vanaprastha for Women ==
According to the Smrtis, women could accompany their husbands in the Vanaprasthashrama if they so desired.
In fact, the itihasas are replete with examples that suggest that women on their own also could enter the vanaprasthashrana.
For example,
* Amba (MB 5.187.25-28)
* Kunti (MB 15.25.15)
* Satyavati with her daughters-in-law (MB 1.119.11)<ref>Anant Balwant Marathe (2011), The Socio-Religious Implications of Vanaprastha and Samnyasa, Delhi: New Bharatiya Book Corporation.</ref>
