Re: Pakistan as Muslim country
To be fair, all you pointed out was that one restricted a women from going to Hajj and the other restricted the way she dressed. Not much was provided in why one w
as a-okay, and the other a big no-no…
No, but if you argue against Hijab then what about all the other enforced dress codes. See the difference? Why is one dress code okay, and not the other?
Technically there is, as no law can contradict Islamic law…however Pakistanis choose to define it.
In any case, I don’t think we’re in any position to say boo to them if such laws do exist (as they do in Iran), since we do the same and don’t have a problem with our own imposed limitations.
As for why some Pakistani women DON’T cover up as per tradition…why? I mean, could colonialism and an inferiroity complex about their own religio-cultural traditions have anything to do with it?
Honestly, let’s say if the West never got out of victorian fashion. Just hypothetically…what do you think “mod” women in Pakistan would be wearing?
