at one wedding that was not segregated. there was a doctor’s family, his wife does burqa plus niqab.. she is a doctor too. **my dad was pissed cuz the wife wasnt eating at all **and the man was eating away heartily. wife was just lifting her veil and taking a few bites then finally stopped as i think she saw ppl were looking at her. she was the only niqabi in the wedding. my dad was annoyed as he coudlnt understand why such an educated couple cannot compromise, and why the lady couldnt just remove her niqab. (that was my dad’s personal opinion as he thought she looked ridiculous eating that way)

LOL…your dad was “pissed” b/c another man’s wife CHOSE not to eat? What I don’t understand is why it annoyed your dad so much to the point that he actually had to make negative comments about them. It’s not like the couple was complaining or making a scene about her not being able to eat with her veil.

You made an assumption that the niqabi doctor was uncomfortable and thus stopped eating. Did you or your dad ever consider the possibility that maybe she stopped eating b/c she didn’t like the food or wasn’t hungry?

Its amazing how many of our society’s issues come from stuff like this. Other people make choices that have absolutely no effect on us…yet we still feel the need to give them negative attention and portray them in a negative manner. God forbid if we could just people be and not ask that they justify their reasons for living life a certain way (especially when what they’re doing has 0 effect on our life).
