>> The statement "the Torah  forbids a woman to be under the control of
anyone other than her father or  husband." is clearly an exaggeration meant
to emphasize the problems/severity  of women going to the army. It is not
meant to be taken literally and there  is no such Torah prohibition. The
proof is that thousands of 18-19 Charedi  girls leave their homes every year
in chutz laaretz and come to seminary in  Israel. In seminary they are
clearly under the control of the seminary  administration which is neither
their father nor their husband and yet this  is the accepted practice in the
Charedi (and MO) world,....  <<

When a girl is in the army and there is a conflict between what her father  
wants her to do and what the army wants, the army wins.  I am pretty sure  
the same is true of Sherut Le'umi.  In contrast, a seminary acts in loco  
parentis and in the case of a conflict, the parents rule.
