BM; Just to be clear, this is an Indian airline which is offering a comparable option long-available on Indian rail lines. If you’ve ever been to India, you know that most of the intercity rail lines have women only cars to literally protect women from the pervasive physical assaults and unwanted touching from men that is sadly embedded in Indian culture. It is not done for religious accommodation nor are women required to use gender-segregated rail cars. Some rail lines in Japan offer the same option and airlines are following suit. The same arrangements would likely be illegal in the U.S. and most of Europe.
