@Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta

true…but i am talking about Islam. if you see a mennonite woman from a distance, you would think that she is a Muslim woman in niqaab. parda is a part of ALL the religions. same reason in every religion why they don’t do parda anymore…and, that is apne deen, dharam aur religion se doorii! juN juN Allah kaa Khauf dil se nikaltaa gayaa tuN tuN parda sar se utarta rahaa!

How do you counter argue the argument that purdah result confiscation of women right to education profession, etc?

I’ve seen purdah daar lady Doctors, Chartered Accountants, Teachers, etc in Pakistan
