<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=3>They even explain
the reasoning. Most poskim follow the Chovos Yair who did not allow
women to say kaddish even though he thought women saying kaddish would
bring nachas ruach to the deceased. There are not too many teshuvos
written on the topic & until Rav Yehuda Henkin wrote a piece in
Hapardes, all were against women saying kaddish in shul. Rav Henkin
says that the custom in Europe was for women to come into the men's
section to say kaddish. Rav Henkin ruled that women should say
kaddish from the women's section and a man should say the kaddish with
her. Rav Moshe Feinstein in Iggrot Moshe Or Chayim Part 5 #12 says
the same thing as Rav Henkin regarding the custom in Europe. RYBS also
says the same thing as Rav Henkin.<br>

And how does all of this square with the original practice, which I
understand is actually the halacha, that only one person says each
kaddish? In such a shul a woman would presumably never say kaddish.
