That's one of the rules of most fundamentalist religions when it comes to women: The ideal woman will not be seen or heard. Instead, she will obey the commands of whoever is declared her owner/guardian.
You can verify the truth of that assertion by a little bit of thinking.
I was reminded of this rule when I read about an ultra-orthodox Israeli newspaper amending the pictures of world leaders in the Paris protest march (that took place after the murders of people at a comic newspaper, a Kosher store and one policewoman out in the streets). This is the original picture:
And this is what it becomes when the women become invisible (note that they are not even allowed to leave gaps):
Finally, here's a Twitter response to that photo-shopping. I apologize for not yet finding the creator of that picture which simply removes all men from the (staged) picture:
Alas and alack, there is no matriarchal religion which would have enough power to photo-shop men out of pictures (not implying that this would happen in a matriarchal religion). But the last picture is also enlightening. Note how few people remain if only female world leaders counted.
