Health: Minhag Oker Halacha. The Minhag for women not to fast in some places is very old and accepted and therefore doesn’t really need a Haskama from the Poskim. It is not a Minhag I would recommend to anyone looking to create their own Minhagim (e.g. a Ba’al T’shuva) but it definitely is legitimate for those who do it.
