    As a man, it is not my place to say anything about this conversation, but I want to give a story form my life. My mother didn’t wear it until my father’s death. So I am sure that it was her choice. She was a praying Muslim and devoted before and after and We live in this so-called authoritarian state too.

      Was it truly her choice or was it something society and/or religion and/or culture dictated her to do to fit into a role intented for her? What would be her reason to do this out of free will?

        As far as I know, she wanted to wear it before his death, but he didn’t let her. So when he did, she chose to wear it on her own.

        You need to understand that it is normal not to wear it in our society. infects some people use it to not have to Do their hair when they don’t feel like it.

        In fact, it is getting less and less used as people moderniz. And people in the West get more religious effect from people in Muslim communities I know the fuckers who would go to the club and drink in here, but who will start praying as soon as they get out to western country. So you maybe getting the wrong idea about it.
