Purvamimamsa that follows yAvajjIvechChruti also accepts sannyAsa for those
who are unable to do karma due to old age, lack of capacity/wealth, loss of
limbs, etc. There is a question that comes up on this list on sannyAsa to
those belonging to abrAhmaNavarNa; there has also been a discussion as to
whether women have adhikAra in sannyAsa, all of which anyway accepts
sannyAsavidhi in shAstras.

Replying to myself with the thread link on the latter for reference and for
others who may be interested:
