Rav Ovadia gave 2 interesting psakim in his shiur on Motza'ei Shabbat

a) Mixed seating at weddings is permitted at weddings, if separate sitting will cause Machloket and figting in the family.

His followers make it clear that his is ONLY with regard to the sitting and no the dancing.

b) Women's lib has had a good influence on present day women in that they are no longer too shy and afraid of appearing in front of men, and therefore, there is no problem and women need to say HaGomel in front of a Minyan of 10.
