To become a nun, peasant woman would go to a convent and say she wanted to be one. This did not automatically make her a nun, however. She would be examined to see that she really had a calling to be a nun, and this took quite a while, perhaps years, and happened in stages. After being a novice, she would take her vows and become a nun.
If a woman was not able to be a nun, which could be determined at any part of the process of become a nun, that did not automatically mean she had to leave the convent. Many women who were not nuns lived in convents. Some were educated there, some retired there, some escaped from abusive husbands there, and more than one stayed in a convent to escape the arm of the law.
