Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 130
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
स्त्रियो5प्येतेन कल्पेन कृत्वा पापमवाप्रुयु: । एतेषामेव जनन््तूनां भार्यात्वमुपयान्ति ता:
striyo 'py etena kalpena kṛtvā pāpam avāpnuyuḥ | eteṣām eva jantūnāṃ bhāryātvam upayānti tāḥ ||
尤提士提罗说道：“即便是女子，若也以此法作恶，亦将分担其罪；并且她们将成为那些同样必须承受此等恶业果报之众生的妻室。”

Educational Q&A
Moral agency and karmic accountability apply to women as well: if one participates in wrongdoing, one shares its demerit, and karmic affinity can shape one’s relational outcomes (such as marriage) with those bound to similar consequences.
In a dharma-discourse context, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a principle of ethical causality: women who engage in the previously described sinful conduct also incur sin and become connected—here expressed through marriage—to the very beings who must experience the results of that sin.
