My son came home from school yesterday and he was telling me that there was a new girl at school, and she isnt allowed to talk to boys until she is older, because of her religious teachings, i don't know what religion she is, but i thought it was strange that her perents opted to send her to a mix sex school. surely if because of religious teachings she can't talk to boys why send her to a mixed sex school,
i didn't really belive him until i spoke with my sons teacher today, and she said yes it is true, this young girl who is just 8yrs old cannot talk to males until a certain age.
But why send her to a mix sex school?
also can someone please shed some light on what religion this may be and at what age are these girls permitted to talk to boys? also what about her father? brother? uncles? can she talk to them?
(i apologise if this is in the wrong forum but i didnt know where to put it)
