I still think she would have to remain confined because it says confine her until death, if she's a Muslim or not a Muslim. It also says no compulsion in religion but not that you can just give up being a Muslim whenever you don't want to face the consequences of Islamic law

Yes, in terms of "pure definition", sentences like the confinement sentence and sexual practices are, on a very premitive level, equal. 
Both belong to the "actions's" class.
Bother are objects, new instances of the abstract class: action.

Thus, from yet another point existing on the high ground I ask: why do all kinds of freaky shit -that involve violence, pain, blood, permanent damage; all kind of rituals- in the modern era, are accepted, or at least understandable -like self harm which the law doesn't interfere with-, but, a group of people are not accepted, or understood if:

-they want to exchange in gold
-they want to get lashed after certain sexual intercourse

-they want to limit their alcohol consumption 
-they want to wear "more cloths" especially since it makes the women of that society feel more safe
-they want to punish each other, just like a mistress punishes her love?

Why?

I think the difference is that Muslims are often indoctrinated into the religion from a young age.  It's not like when the child reaches 6 they're asked if they fancy being a Muslim. They're told the quran is a fact and the quran says if you don't believe in the quran you're repeatedly roasted, then you will have your roasted skin replaced by fresh skin to be roasted again for an indefinite period of time.
So the choice is being roasted forever while allah purposefully subjects you to as much pain as possible or subject yourself to being a Muslim and follow these rules where a husband can beat you if he fears rebellion from you, confine you to a house until you're dead if you cheat on your husband, plus the other punishments of lashing and things like that.

On the other hand people aren't indoctrinated into kinky sex, well they are in a sense but they aren't told they will burn in hell if they don't participate.  It's something for enjoyment, there's often a safe word used if a person wants to get out of it and so on.  

From what I recall you have been heavily indoctrinated into Islam yourself, if you've been reading the quran since a young age and you're getting the message either believe this or die and roast forever I can't imagine the kind of affect that would have on a child.
Whereas your sexual choices are your own, no one is saying be into what you're into or have your skin roasted.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
