“A large meeting was held in Rome in which women’s affairs were discussed. It was decided that women were soulless objects and that, for this reason, they will not inherit life in the Hereafter. The decision claimed that women were an abomination that must not eat meat, and not laugh, and even not speak. They should spend their time in prayer, worship and service. To prevent women from doing all the above, they closed women’s mouths with an iron lock. Women from the highest and lowest class families walked in the roads, and moved around in their homes with locks on their mouths. This was beside the corporal punishment which was experienced by women as they were considered tools for seduction used by Satan to corrupt hearts.”
