Women in Hinduism.

  Now let’s look at Hinduism.  Like Judaism and Christianity, Hinduism endorses the view that men should rule over women in  all areas of life. Women, along with lower caste Hindus are prohibited from studying the Vedas, which are the core  Hindu scriptures. Women and lower caste Hindus are also barred from performing fundamental Hindu rituals.  This is emphasized in the central Hindu legal text Manusmirti.  Manusmriti (9.18) reads:   "For women no rite is performed with sacred texts, thus the law is settled; women, who are destitute of strength and destitute of the knowledge of vedic texts are as impure as falsehood itself that is a fixed rule" The notion that women cannot study the Vedas or perform Hindu religious rites based on the Vedas is affirmed in commentaries on Manusmirti, like that of Medhatithi.  Medhatihi also emphasizes general female inferiority, commenting on the phrase:  “destitute of organs  and devoid of sacred texts, ...
