The decision to bar men from the prayers drew criticism from Syria-born Danish lawmaker Naser Khader, who told broadcaster TV 2 that it was not “good enough” in a country like Denmark — known for having a high level of gender equality — to shy away from letting women preach to a mixed crowd. Five Islamic marriage ceremonies have been conducted at the mosque, which has issued its own marriage contract.Under the agreement women have the right to divorce, polygamy is prohibited, men and women have equal rights to their children in case of a divorce, and the marriage is annulled in the event of mental or physical violence. The mosque’s aim was also to fight Islamophobia by showing Muslim women could “take the lead,” Khankan said. Similar projects exist in a handful of other countries, including in the US where “The Women’s Mosque of America” opened in Los Angeles last year.
