ive been to a few segregated weddings. some had a parda, other didnt. the ones without parda, the ladies just wore their burqa.

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)

I dont understand it all. Why is your dad pissed at another couple for doing what they find is right? And why should they compromise, because your dad thinks so? I dont understand desi people and their mentality. They have to have a problem with everything. I could understand any annoyance if the couple was creating a scene for not having a segregated function, but they are not. They are enjoying themselves as everyone else. She is a doctor and its her personal choice whether she wears the niqaab or not. Remember its her face, yeah?! Why is everyone making it sound as if wearing the niqaab or doing parda is the act of jahiliat?! Urgh. I dont remember reading anywhere in that its impossible for a female muslim doctor to examine a male patient? Why all this discussion?! Dont we always say “oh he is a doctor, its alright” when a female lady goes for a male physician? but there is a problem if a hijabi doc has a male patient? .. weird.
