. All this rules and regulations are made by society and this society is itself patriarchal
. so obviously it has problem with freedom of women.
Why this kinds of rules are only for women.'The God or Temple will not become impure if women enters in to the temple. '' God is above all the belief 'There is no law that prevents women to any temple. if you allow men, then you should allow women whatever she wanted to do. It is the right of the women.
