Did you know that Ahmadi women are not allowed to marry non-Ahmadis? Did you also know that women who have dared break this taboo have been ostracized by the Ahmadi community, cast out, abandoned and sometimes much worse has happened. Did you know that the Ahmadi cult has a matchmaking service to ensure that no one looks outside the narrow confines of the cult for companionship. Did you also know that only a man can be the head of this matchmaking service, which does make you wonder what say Ahmadi women have in the whole affair. Given Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's views on women we don't think it's very much at all.
I think it's absolutely disgusting that in modern Ireland inequalities like this exist. I read an article about them in the Irish Times recently and thought at last we were seeing some real muslim moderates in Ireland, your expose has shown that to be just a dream. I have since written to the Irish Times asking them to look into the plight of women in the Ahmadiyyah sect.
