Segregation of the sexes
From Bahai9
Permissible instances[edit]
Bahá'í men and women meeting together (in the East) is the beginning of women's emancipation[edit]
"Question: Do the Bahá'í women go without veils in the East?
"Answer: It is not possible for them to do so universally yet, but the conditions are not nearly so restrictive as they were. The Bahá'í men and women meet together. This is the beginning of woman's emancipation from the thralldom of centuries. Qurratu'l-`Ayn was really the liberator of all Persian women."
