The democratic Athenians (who did no longer provide women human beings the vote) the made it a social stigma for "sturdy" women human beings to bypass out of the residing house. purely woman prostitutes have been allowed out of the residing house. The veil exchange into extensively utilized via the Byzantian (christian) women human beings as a mark of being top classification.

The hijab (often translated as "veil") is the form of scarf or hair covering commonly worn by Muslim women. The burqa is the head-to-toe Islamic robe. A long robe and veils exposing only the woman's eyes is known as a niqab.
These garments have always been seen by Western feminists as oppressive and a symbol of a Muslim woman's subservience to men. As a result, it often comes as a surprise to Western feminists that the veil has become increasingly common in the Muslim world and is often worn proudly by college girls as a symbol of an Islamic identity, freeing them symbolically from neo-colonial Western cultural imperialism and domination.
Let us give some examples from the holy Quran.
"Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them." (4:34)
Women's testimony is equal to half that of a man:
"Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her." (2:282)
