Canon 477

1. The enclosure shall be observed in monasteries in the manner

prescribed in the typicon, without prejudice to the right of the

superior to admit, in individual instances and for a grave reason, into parts subject to the enclosure persons of the other

gender other than those who may enter the enclosure in accordance

with the typicon. 2. The parts of the monastery subject to the

law of enclosure shall be clearly indicated. 3. It is up to

the superior of a monastery sui iuris, with the consent of the

council and after notifying the local hierarch, to prescribe precisely the boundaries of the enclosure or to change them for just

reasons.
