I will preface this question by stating that I do not subscribe, nor ever have subscribed, to the misogynist beliefs in the bible. Women are not subordinate to men. Period.
Scenario: A woman who is married decides that she wants to become a baptised Jehovah's Witness. Her husband says no. She says no more but goes ahead and gets baptised anyway without her husband's knowledge. Is her action contrary to her husband's headship? Is this ok according to Watchtower doctrine and practice?

Headship is relative. Above the husband is the body of elders, the CO, DO, GB, Jesus, and the "BIG J"
The husband can be safely ignored if any of the above override the husbands objections.
See also the "doctrine" of spiritual endangerment...
They will reason that she is following the higher authority of their puppetmaster Jah by acting in accordance to his (the WT) will. This action is more than just OK to them, it is expected and encouraged.
The WTBTS comes before anything else.
Depressing answers, but thanks.
