Правило 60 Василия Великого

She who promised to remain a virgin, and fell away from her promise, may she fulfill the time of punishment imposed for the sin of adultery with distribution, depending on her life. The same goes for those who have taken the vow of monastic life, but have fallen. (IV Om. 16; Trul. 44; Ankyr. 19; Carth. 16; Basil Vel. 6, 18, 19, 20, 44). According to the 19th rule of the Ancyra Council, persons who took a vow of virginity and then fell into sin are subject to one-year or two-year penance, like second-weds; The present rule of Basil the Great subjects such persons, as well as monks who have fallen into fornication, to the penance prescribed for adulterers, i.e. fifteen years of repentance. “The present prescription of this rule, Basil,” says Balsamon, “should be valid, because it was published much later than the mentioned Ancyra rule” 101.
