When one joins an institution one has to follow the rules of the institution. If they are unhappy they can leave. Where does women's rights come into play here? Nuns are those who has accepted the rules that vatican or whoever is their highest authority laid down and have joined the institute and have to follow them. But, not all christian women are required to wear head-scarves/veils - or are they?
