The notion that mechitzah is a requirement for having a miqdash me'at,
rather than a requirement for davening is often mentiomed in secondary
and tertiary sources. I have not yet found one that brings a mar'eh maqom.

Also, the Bar Ilan shu"t project shows no relevent matches for "mechitzah"
and "miqdash" within 20 words of eachother (11 matche, none about having
an exras nashim). Feel free to suggest better search terms.

Tir'u baTov!
