Destination of a chaste woman


The woman who engages in the service of her husband, following strictly in the footsteps of the goddess of fortune, surely returns home, back to Godhead, with her devotee husband, and lives very happily in the Vaikuṇṭha planets.

By serving one's husband faithfully, a chaste wife enters pati loka (she follows  the path of her husband) she reaches the same destination as that of her husband.

 Patiloka is not separate place, if a wife serves her husband sincerely, husband becomes a pure devotee in this lifetime, he goes back to Godhead, then she also follows the same destination of going back to Godhead without separate endeavour. If husband is not a devotee, she reaches the same destination of her husband be it hellish or heavenly planets. If a wife is devotee, and chaste wife then Krsna arranges a suitable destination according to her advancement of Krsna Consciousness.

 If a woman is attached to her husband, at the time of death thinks of her husband, then next birth she will receive a Male body.

SB 3.31.41, Translation and Purport: 

A living entity who, as a result of attachment to a woman in his previous life, has been endowed with the form of a woman, foolishly looks upon māyā in the form of a man, her husband, as the bestower of wealth, progeny, house and other material assets.

From this verse it appears that a woman is also supposed to have been a man in his (her) previous life, and due to his attachment to his wife, he now has the body of a woman. Bhagavad-gītā confirms this; a man gets his next life's birth according to what he thinks of at the time of death. If someone is too attached to his wife, naturally he thinks of his wife at the time of death, and in his next life he takes the body of a woman. Similarly, if a woman thinks of her husband at the time of death, naturally she gets the body of a man in the next life. In the Hindu scriptures, therefore, woman's chastity and devotion to man is greatly emphasized. A woman's attachment to her husband may elevate her to the body of a man in her next life, but a man's attachment to a woman will degrade him, and in his next life he will get the body of a woman. We should always remember, as it is stated in Bhagavad-gītā, that both the gross and subtle material bodies are dresses; they are the shirt and coat of the living entity. To be either a woman or a man only involves one's bodily dress. The soul in nature is actually the marginal energy of the Supreme Lord. Every living entity, being classified as energy, is supposed to be originally a woman, or one who is enjoyed. In the body of a man there is a greater opportunity to get out of the material clutches; there is less opportunity in the body of a woman. In this verse it is indicated that the body of a man should not be misused through forming an attachment to women and thus becoming too entangled in material enjoyment, which will result in getting the body of a woman in the next life.

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

पतिं या नाभिचरति मनोवाग्देहसंयुता । 
सा भर्तृलोकमाप्नोति सद्भिः साध्वीति चोच्यते ॥ १६३ ॥ 
अनेन नारी वृत्तेन मनोवाग्देहसंयता । 
इहाग्र्यां कीर्तिमाप्नोति पतिलोकं परत्र च ॥ १६४ ॥

patiṃ yā nābhicarati manovāgdehasaṃyutā | 
sā bhartṛlokamāpnoti sadbhiḥ sādhvīti cocyate || 163 || 
anena nārī vṛttena manovāgdehasaṃyatā | 
ihāgryāṃ kīrtimāpnoti patilokaṃ paratra ca || 164 ||

She, who does not fail in her duty to her husband, having her thought, speech and body well-controlled, reaches her husband’s regions; and is called ‘good’ by all gentle-men.—(163).

By such conduct, the woman, having her thought, word and body well controlled, obtains excellent fame in this world, and also her husband’s region in the other world.—(164).
