Ordination of women
In general religious use, ordination is the process by which one is consecrated (set apart for the undivided administration of various religious rites). The ordination of women is a controversial issue in religions where either the office of ordination, or the role that an ordained person fulfils, is traditionally restricted to men, for various theological reasons.
