Non-compliance with the Waiting Period Rules

Question
Is a woman sinful if she does not adhere to the waiting period after her husband's death?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is forbidden for a woman to disregard the rules of the waiting period (iddah), and she must seek forgiveness and repent if she violates the rules of the waiting period, and God knows best.
