And I answered that twice I think.

Human rights need to come before religion. Hijab was and is meant to control while turban is not.

The girls wearing hijab don't feel controlled. I'm speaking as close family members wear it by choice and some remove it by choice and some start it later in life by choice. So are you now gonna say those women's sentiments and opinions don't matter? Let me guess, you know better than the women don't you?

Pertinent question here is no one seems to have answer for what is the reason behind Sikh boy wearing Turban and Muslim girl wearing hijab?

Pertinent question here what is the reason behind men having a d*** and women not having a d***?

No girl no...I will tell you one thing....when my daughter gets married....there won't be any kanyadaan...my daughter is not my personal property that can be handed over to some one...but I am not going to tell someone else to not do kanyadaan if that is what they believe in.....don't confuse right of one religion to be the same as another religion......you and me are arguing over chalk and cheese here...😆

Good. But a huge chunk of Muslim women don't happen to be in your daughter's position. They don't have a parent helping them understand they actually have a choice. In fact, more likely, the parent herself is mentally programmed to accept herself as 2nd class.

All the high achieving women you mentioned? They're where you and your daughter already are. Their scarf is not symbolic of their oppression. But for millions of others without their resources, that scarf is one of the means by which they are controlled, their sexuality is controlled. It is not a choice for them.

Help them help themselves, please.

Hijab was to hide neck shoulders and chest area and not to be revealed to anyone other than your husband. In case school girls for your future husband.

Why were practices like Sati, Triple Talaq or goonghat eradicated from society?

Can you answer why Indian aunties and grandmothers don't wear a bikini or bathing suit when they go to the beach? Should we enforce bathing suits on Indian beaches?

Perhaps you, in the U.S., with your resources and access to information.

Are you going to tell me the 80% who live in poverty have the same choice?

How about eradicating Kanyadaan...because I feel there is not a more regressive practice than that??

You can't take a hijab off. Once your start wearing it, it's not an "on off" thing. Anywhere you have males you need to wear it per the religion. Why is this hard to understand?

They don't know anything about Islam, but they have all these ideas about Islam.

My sister in law went through medical school with a hijab in Touro, Vallejo California, became a doctor in a hijab, treated patients in a hijab, but somehow girls can't do basic education in a hijab?

I dunno, desigal. Perhaps we should ask Malala what happened to her when she tried to get an education in a hijab.

I also have family members in Pakistan and yes some are very conservative and they prefer it that way. That's what they grew up with and that's what there comfortable with. Similar to desi girls who may not feel comfortable wearing a bikini or bathing suit to swim on a beach. Now will you call them regressive? Coz another society would.
