Re: Saudi woman wants to divorce after husband lifts her veil
Hard to believe. This could well just be a piece of fiction to defame pardah/viel.
**Observing pardah/viel originates from Islam **and under no condition Mahrams and that too husband come under it. Bakwas !
Veil did not originate from islam. It was practised before islam and it practised in culture which do not follow islam as their religion. For example Rajhistaan (india) there women do pardah from unknown men. See any indian movie about Rajhistaan or a recent one named 'DOR'
There may be some explaination as why these tribes follow this strange custom. One of them is given by Mamaof3 :
This is really very nasty of me but I had a thought....this tradition is within a certain small group in a certain small area, yeah? I was thinking that there may perhaps be a plague of horrible ugliness going on there....to the point that they hafta hide it away for all time even from (or especially from!) the hubby!
