salam,

i'm glad more and more women are rejecting this sexist rule. a while back there was the story of women building their own mosque, but i think what this sister did is more effective.

i believe the reason we have nikkah was to make sure the paternity of the child... and now we have paternity tests. so any woman who boycotts marriage and/or has premarital sex is fine by me. not that i'm encouraging people against abstaining or marriage :)
