Wow! A cleric dictates it's okay now for a woman not to be a virgin on her marriage day. And you thought women weren't treated equally!

Wonderful decision. It will be interesting watching the extremists cope with this.

Expect the Shia authorities, as well as the Wahabiists to comment vehemently on this within the day. I can't wait.
