But I would like if you could explain the value of having a women not go out to the park.
So the city of Mahwah shouldn't give them a summons.

Also shouldn't smoke. Typically women are more in tune to these health things.

You mean I should feel sad for you (and others)that you can’t comprehend such a value in yuddishkeit ? It’s for me to say I do...
Wow. That is so misguided. You do know who's husband held the same way, that his wife should not be allowed to go out of the house? I'm sure you know who was born from that woman. It's a meferishe Gemara.

I think it has to do with an attitude based on a combination of ideas. Kol Kvudah bas Melech Pnima, Ayei Sara? Hinei Ba'ohel, and Dina bas Yaakov-Yatzanis bas Yatzanis, as teaching that the less a woman is out there the better it is.
Obviously different communities have different levels of what is too much!

No one is allowed to smoke. But a woman that smokes will not find a shidduch for here all her children as opposed to men.

Smoking men will also have a hard time finding a good shidduch.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I don't think that's true. Many many guys smoke and have no problem. It's much less common in frum circles for women to smoke, so it's more of a stigma if she does.
