[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that she's oppressed and not respected in her household. I don't want to think this, but I do. [/quote] Be careful about judging too quickly. There may be some households like this, but since marrying into a family that has a Muslim woman as a member I've gotten to know her and her mom, sisters, aunts etc. My family member who is Muslim does not wear the hijab though she is religious. Her mom began wearing it when she was in her 30's and went through a difficult time, and felt God got her through. She feels it reminds her of her faith, that's all. Some of her sisters wear it, some not -- all a choice not dictated by husbands. These are all highly educated, strong, opinionated women.[/quote] Plenty of strong, independent, intelligent women unwittingly propagate sexist traditions. Like taking the husband's name upon marriage.[/quote]
