Scratchme— l read an article reporting on the experiences of a young Hasidic woman in the US.
Unreal
To minimize physical contact ON THE WEDDING NIGHT the newlyweds made contact through a sheet with a hole in it.
The rabbi checks the woman’s undergarments to ascertain the woman’s periods. The married woman is to shave her head and wear a wig.
How true is it? I would have to read more. Being born in to these crazy religions!!!

Pretty extreme.
As sparrowdown said— sad and rather ironic that this sort of oppression of human beings that is perpetrated by a religion exists in the home of the "free."
