Why Muslim Women Wear The Veil?

Muslim women  all over the world are seen particularly covering their heads and often faces with the veils. These veils are a way of surveillance to protect the women from the unwanted gaze of other men so is believed by the orthodox section of the society.

The Muslim men consider it as a modest form of dressing up for the women which is even stipulated in the Koran. The Koran commands that the women should be properly veiled to not attract undue attention from men by displaying their beauty and even parts of their flesh.

This form of dressing up has come in for attacks in several countries where the orthodox Muslim still practice it and object to the laws prohibiting their women from practicing the dress code, dictated to them by their religious scriptures and considered as a sacred commandment by God himself.

The donning of the veils is debated amongst the scholarly who argue that women should also have the freedom to decide what they want to wear. As largely all over its been the men traditionally dictating what women ought to and ought not to wear. Women who wear this across the large Muslim societies all over the world have no freedom to decide what they want to wear.
