Manu 5.147
बालया वा युवत्या वा वृद्धया वा-अपि योषिता । न स्वातन्त्र्येण कर्तव्यं किं चिद् कार्यं गृहेष्व् अपि ॥
bālayā vā yuvatyā vā vṛddhayā vā-api yoṣitā | na svātantryeṇa kartavyaṃ kiṃ cid kāryaṃ gṛheṣv api ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
By a girl, by a young woman, or even by an aged one, nothing must be done independently, even in her own house.
