Quoting robin01: no women dont fast until they reach this stage in their life..and they are banned from doing many things during their special time..ramazan or not  
and 9 isnt very unusual..but bi would say 7 is an odd age to start ur special time... |
In Holland the average age is 11, when starting at 9 you are extremely early. When over 15 you are very late.

Not having sex, okay - much more hygienic. Not touching the Qu'uran, okay. But in your period you cannot pray? That sounds strange in my ears, like you are sick then.
Are muslim women allowed to cook in their period? Because in some Jewish sects they are not.

actually this sounds really strange to me!!! :-S
a woman during her period is not a dirty woman..it's a totally natural procedure ,so how can she not pray or touch Quran..all this is in our nature and this is given from God too!actually this is similar with things that are said by "some" priests here too ,but i totally disagree and i am praying during my period too..i don't believe that in the eyes of God this is considered as sinn..

if u are unclean..then it is rude to perform namaz or read the words of the quran during this time..the same as the area where namaz is performed always has to be clean..thats like saying ur cleanliness isnt important....its disrespectful...

The same rule exists for the Orthodox Christians too (don't know about Catholics). Women in that special period, can't receive the Holly Communion. And this has to do with the sin (it's a sin they say) of losing blood, even if caused from an injury, after drinking Jeasus's blood, through the Holly Communion.
I find all these too exaggerated actually. They want to make me believe that I ll go to hell, if I get injured in a car crash, after receiving the Holly Communion? :-S Isn't it absurd?
Well...I do believe in God, but I find it very hard to just follow the rules and not question them, especially when they are as paranoid as the one above.

oh!!we obviously disagree robino..i find it more disrespectfull to make fun with comments on nails ...i personally don't think that a woman during her period is unclean..this is more i guess in terms of theological approach..ur comment was full of ironie!!(the one about the nails..)my purpose was not to be critical..i just showed my point of view..

It used to be with Catholics as well. When I was born (1963) my mother had to go to a special Mass to get 'clean' again after giving birth, like she was very dirty. She refused - though very religious - because she said that giving birth is a present of God, not a sin. After that she had a lot of times her Communion, no priest refused to give it.
