Young girls AND young guys think the notion that females are incapable of selecting an appropriate husband is patronising and moronic.
Furthermore, it's in the guy's own interests to encourage acceptance of females being able to select the partner of their chosing - guys don't want to be married off to a woman who they don't love any more than a woman wants be married to a man she doesn't love.
It's mutually advantageous.
As for the point about apostasy, you can't have it both ways.
If you want to enforce strict interpretation of the religion (ie that women shouldn't be allowed to chose because their is no Koranic permission allowing it) you need to also enfore the strict interpretation that if women do chose, they are heretics and should be punished according to religious law.
I tend to agree, PM.

There is no middle ground.
