Chinese Female Muslim Imam Leads Women Of The Hui Minority

QINYANG CITY, CHINA - JULY 22: Hui Muslim women pray during the holy month of Ramadan at the women's only Tuanjielu Mosque on July 22, 2014 in Qinyang City, Henan Province, China. As part of a tradition dating back to the late 19th century and unique to China's 10 million Hui Muslims female congregations are led by female Imams in the women's only mosques of northwest China. Though able to teach and lead prayers for women, they are forbidden from overseeing funeral rituals or washing male corpses before burial. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
