Reference for Nazir 4:3

הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁנָּדְרָה בְנָזִיר, וְהָיְתָה שׁוֹתָה בְיַיִן וּמִטַּמְּאָה לְמֵתִים, הֲרֵי זוֹ סוֹפֶגֶת אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים. הֵפֵר לָהּ בַּעְלָהּ וְהִיא לֹא יָדְעָה שֶׁהֵפֵר לָהּ בַּעְלָהּ, וְהָיְתָה שׁוֹתָה בְיַיִן וּמִטַּמְּאָה לְמֵתִים, אֵינָהּ סוֹפֶגֶת אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אִם אֵינָהּ סוֹפֶגֶת אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים, תִּסְפֹּג מַכַּת מַרְדּוּת:

If a woman vowed to be a Nazirite and drank wine or made herself unclean to the dead, [and afterwards her husband annulled her vow], she receives forty stripes [for having transgressed before the annulment]. If her husband annulled it without her knowledge, and she drank wine or made herself unclean to the dead, she does not receive forty stripes. R. Yehudah says: Though she does not receive forty stripes, she receives "stripes of rebellion" [by ordinance of the scribes. "Stripes of rebellion," wherever mentioned, is (assessed) according to the judge's judgment and the exigencies of the time. And this (the limitation upon the number of stripes) obtains only where a transgression has already been committed. But as regards a positive commandment, such as: "Build a succah," and his refusing to build it; "Take a lulav," and refusing to take it, he is given stripes until he acquiesces or until "his soul expires."]
