...bomb blast that claimed several lives. Wahid says compromise on the establishment of Islamic law is out of the question - and to him, that means women would not be able to work. "They could leave the house, but only if they were dressed appropriately. They could go to school, but they would never be able to work in offices - only in women's hospitals or as teachers at girls' schools."
