Our religions has often required that women remain virgin until marrige....with no such corresponding requiremnt made on men. ?? I've never heard of this commandment. Can you provide me with the declaration by one of "our" religions that pre-marital abstinence was once required for good religious women, and then tell me when this religious "women must be virgins until marriage" rule was changed (which seems to be what you're implying)? I think you're confusing societal mores and religious rules of behaviour. Anyway, my question was not whether behavioural rules (such as requiring women to wear a veil) are unique to Islamic religion, I was just interested to read whether Sarman (or anyone) thinks that is a good rule of behaviour for a religion. You, whattaya you think? Do you think it's OK and that's what good Muslim women should do, or do you think it's a sign of how backasswards the Muslim people can be, or you got no opinion on the subject?
