There have been female Hindu priests in past just like there have been female Sufis.

Today maybe in some places culturally and societally it is not accepted or not allowed but that is only because of discrimination and prejudice as well as corrupted scriptures. In progressive places like pune it is happening. This lady works as a priest and a dentist.

Also, the word for power Shakti is feminine in origin. Also in Vedas there have been hymns composed by females known as rishikas, female version of rishis, who had verses revealed to them. 30 of them are mentioned in Rig Veda.

Thanks. So now onwards and upwards towards female Imams? I assume there will be widespread support for that based on this threads concern for gender equality.
