Question:
I know there is a halacha about not eating mezonot/hamotzi from 30 mins before tzeit hakochavim until one has davened Maariv.
Does this halacha apply to women who have taken upon themselves to say Maariv as well?
Answer:
If it is a kabala that you took upon yourself and now you have to daven maariv every day, then it would be like men. However just like men there are a number of leniencies, such as having a shomer etc.
Best Wishes
