“When, monks, a woman possesses five qualities, with the breakup up of the body, after death, she is reborn in a state of misery, in a bad destination, in the nether world, in hell. What are the five? “
“She,
1) destroys life, 
2) takes what is not given, 
3) engages in sexual misconduct, 
4) speaks falsehood, and 
5) indulges in wine, liquor, and intoxicants that cause negligence.
When a woman possesses these five qualities she is reborn in a state of misery, in a bad destination, in the nether world, in hell.”
