Strict answer: No.

In Digambar Jainism, heaven (devgati) is not earned by sins. Repeated sins create bad karma, which leads away from heaven.

A female layperson can still improve her future through:

repentance
stopping sinful actions
right conduct
dharma, charity, vows, and non-violence

So, past sins do not help you go to heaven. Only punya and pure conduct can support a heavenly rebirth.
