Religion of gender inequality

A report on Israel Radio this morning indicates that a professional soccer match in Saudi Arabia was suspended this week because a 12-year old girl was sitting with her father in the men's seating area. The match was stopped until the girl switched seats.

I have not been able to confirm this report online as yet.

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
