Правило 15

On the minimum age limit (40 years) and the prohibition of marriage for deaconesses.
A woman must be no younger than forty years old to become a deaconesses, but even this must be done after a thorough test. If, after accepting consecration and spending some time in ministry, she marries, offending the grace of God, let her be anathematized along with the one who married her.
Greek original
Διάκονον μὴ χειροτονεῖσθαι γυναῖκα πρὸ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα, καὶ ταύτην μετ᾿ ἀκριβοῦς δοκιμασίας. Εἰ δέ γε δεξαμένη τὴν χειροθεσίαν, καὶ χρόνον τινὰ παραμείνασα τῇ λειτουργίᾳ, ἑαυτὴν ἐπιδῷ γάμῳ, ὑβρίσασα τὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ χάριν, ἡ τοιαύτη ἀναθεματιζέσθω μετὰ τοῦ αὐτῇ συναφθέντος.
