The Contractual Obligation Implementation - S6-E18
Factual error: At the end of the episode, the girls are at Disneyland in costume as Disney Princesses.

Answer: Because Raj's selective mutism seems to be caused by women that Raj sees (on some sort of conscious or subconscious level) as a potential sexual partner. An attribute that wouldn't apply to either his sister or mother.
