The answer

If a woman intends by prohibiting what Allah has made lawful, or by an oath, then she must repent and seek forgiveness, and that thing does not become forbidden. However, some scholars have made it obligatory to offer an expiation for an oath (feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or emancipating a slave, or fasting three days if she cannot find any of these). But if she intended to swear by (unlawful) that she would not go, then this is an oath by other than Allah and is not permissible. She must repent and seek forgiveness, and there is no expiation for an oath in this case.
