Why do muslim men make muslim womens to wear burqa(veils and scarves)?

Answer 1

It is as much a part of their culture as it is apart of their religion. But if you look at the climate of the area in which the religion developed you will see the tradition most likely developed in reaction to heat and sand.

Answer 2

Believe or not, this is not part of the Koran but rather is a culture issue. And to be fair, not all Muslim men make their women (as property) wear the burqa or veils. For the record, I am a Muslim sympathizer but rather an observer.

Answer 3

It is a religious custom and a tradition in their culture - made by men. No different that here in the US the women are not able to make equal pay with men for the equal positions and jobs they do, for the same reason women who are stay at home domestic engineers, chefs, Childcare workers, teachers, professional organizers, and administrators, and bookkeepers are not paid for their services. It is men who try to control women, and this is another control tactic. You wouldn't see any of them wearing this in the scorching heat!!!!

Answer 4

I am an American woman who has been in Iraq. I had the very same question you did. Most of the answers you got I find to be true. In the Qu'uran there is a specific chapter that states what women are to do, how they should dress, and what property should be left to them when their husband dies. So with Church-States that have had this ingrained in them after centuries, this is what it has evolved into.
I talked to a friend of mine who is Muslim and asked him what the big deal was. He told me that if a beautiful woman were just walking down the street and made him commit adultery; that would be her fault for tempting him. I asked him...so if YOU commit adultery it is the woman's fault for being beautiful? He responded with a very firm, yes now you got it.
I hope that answers your question

Answer 5

That only applies to Shiites. Sunni Muslims might wear scarves, but scarves were very popular for American women up until the mid 80's (it protected their expensive hair doos from the wind). Both are very functionals when those daily sand storms pop up and bathing is uncommon.

Answer 6

Your question falsely assumes that all Muslims do this (they don't), and that it's always the men who decide this (many Muslim women WANT to wear them, as they don't like to be oogled by strange men, or treated as sex objects).

BTW, in Iraq, before Bush destroyed the country, women could decide for themselves whether to wear them, but now they don't dare go outside without them, as well as needing to be accompainies by a male relative.

That's just another way Bush has "helped" the Iraqi people.

Answer 7

The men in their muslim religion believes don't count women as a human been.

Answer 8

It's part of the religion that women can not show their faces to anyone besides their husband and I believe father. Look into the religious restrictions if you want a more accurate answer. Hope I helped you!

Answer 9

I didn't know they still had to wear these...I just read an article about an Afghani woman policewoman and she said that sometimes she wears one to be anonymous (the reemerging Taliban have targeted her for possible execution) when speaking with victimized women...

I didn't know women in Iraq wore them at all..

Answer 10

In their primitve religion and minds, women ar nothing and should not tempt or distract men...If we can get them up to the 20th century we would be accomplishing something....Hasn't been a fashion statement in that part of the world since Jesus...
