Vaishnava Samhita. Karmatha Devi Charitam. Vol II Book VI Chp 5 Shlokas 5 - 6

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच 

महाविश्वासयुक्तानां प्रपन्ननाञ्च योषिताम् 
भगवानेव सर्वात्मा रक्षको नात्र संशयः  || 
न माता न पिता बन्धुर्न भ्राता न पतिर्गुरुः 
अनित्यं भुवनं सर्वं भगवानेव रक्षकः  ||

Shri Sadguru said

For those women who have surrendered with unaltering faith, the Omnipresent Bhagavan is the guardian undoubtedly. Parents, relatives, brother, husband-none of these protects a woman. For, the entire world is mortal. Bhagavan is the sole guardian.
