The only religion that I can think of that doesnt do that is Wicca. Even Buddhists, along with Shakyamuni as this source, laid down much more restrictive rules

  When I was young I served Yoshino-kimi, the granddaughter of Tōfukumon'in, a disciple of the imperial temple Hōkyō-ji. Recently she passed away, although I know that this is the law of nature, the transience of the world struck me deeply, and I became a nun. I cut my hair and dyed my robes black and went on pilgrimage to Edo. There I had an audience with the monk Haku-ō of the Obaku Zen sect. I recounted to him, such things as my deep devotion to Buddhism since childhood, but Haku-ō replied that although he could see my sincere intentions, I could not escape my womanly appearance. Therefore I heated up an iron and held it against my face, and then wrote as my brush led me: ... Formerly to amuse myself at court I would burn orchid incense; Now to enter the Zen life I burn my own face. The four seasons pass by naturally like this, But I don't know who I am amidst the change. ... In this living world the body I give up and burn would be wretched if I thought of myself as anything but firewood. - Ryōnen Gensō
