To become independent
To become self-reliant in one's life; to cease being under someone else's control.
("A vow of hers, while she is betrothed ... her vows are annulled. This is the rule: anyone who has not gone out into her own authority for even one hour, her father and her last husband may annul her vows" — Nedarim 10:3; and similarly: "Thus these are adults and under their father's authority, but this one, who is a minor and under his own authority; therefore, 'And the LORD was with Joseph,' and he was a successful man" — Bereshit Rabbah (Vilna), Vayeshev, Parashah 1)
