Answer 1

Muslim Women wearing burkha is a custom-

Detailed scholarly attention has been focused on prescribing female dress. Most scholars agree that the basic requirements are that when in the presence of someone of the opposite sex (other than a close family member - mahram), a woman should cover her body, and walk and dress in a way which does not draw sexual attention to her. Some scholars go so far as to specify exactly which areas of the body must be covered. In many cases, this is everything save the face and hands but others require everything save the eyes to be covered.

A woman wearing a niqāb in YemenThe Saudi Arabian version of modest dress is composed of an abaya or loose robe, ħijāb or headcovering and niqāb or face veil. The Saudi niqāb usually leaves a long open slot for the eyes; the slot is held together by a string or narrow strip of cloth. Abaya and ħijāb are required; the niqāb is optional. While Pakistan has no laws enforcing ħijāb, there are many parts of the country where there is strong social pressure for women to observe ħijāb, or purdah, as it is called in Persian. Many Pakistani women who observe purdah wear a garment called the pak-chadar, a headscarf with attached veil. However, there are also many Pakistani women who simply wear a dupatta or chunari to cover their heads. These are long scarves, often made of a light material, that match the woman's garments.
There are no laws enforcing ħijāb in India as it is a secular, Hindu-majority country, but in some conservative, Muslim-majority areas, there is social pressure to cover. Many Indian muslim women wear the burqa, although many others wear the dupatta or chunari.
A relatively less strict (though still considerably restrictive) interpretation is that of the current Iranian government, which requires women to wear loose-fitting coats or cloaks in public such as the chador, as well as a head scarf that covers the hair.

A woman wearing a burqa in AfghanistanThe burqa is the most extreme example of this belief: not even a woman's eyes are visible. Originating in Pakistan, it is more commonly associated with Afghanistan. Typically, a burqa is composed of many yards of light material pleated around a cap that fits over the top of the head. There is an embroidered openwork grille where the burqa passes over the eyes. Under the Taliban, the burqa was obligatory. Under the current government, it is technically optional but in most of Afghanistan beyond Kabul is still obligatory. -

Answer 7

Muslim women cover to guard their beauty. So they are not envied and wanted for the shape of their body but for their intelligence. Your body is made by God not to be exploited but to be protected from evil eyes that have dirty thoughts. That is why you are allowed to take it of in front of your husband father brother, blood uncles and other women, and male children below the age of puberty that have no sense of sexual desires. We do it because Allah (God) tells us. Allah has given us the right to own property own business inheritance and so many rights. As long as we cover our bodies and work decent jobs there is no problem. It's for our own safety so we are not sexually harassed and looked down upon as objects men can just grab pinch and "check-out" Before i didnt know the meaning of it but now i do. It makes a huge difference. You get more respect then guys flirting and trying to grab you.
