[quote]I have read these kinds of restrictions on womens dress before. It is all trash. In the Quran Allah's subhana-o-taala simply says:

O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.  Quran 33.59

Believing men and women should both dress modestly and fear Allah, and lower their gaze when meeting each other.

Besides this, mullahs have tried to enforce their ideas on the weaker women and tried to control the way they live. Because SOME men are bad, the other gender suffer and have to change their lifestyle due to the actions of such men.

In the society where the prophet lived, women were teased by men, these were the days of jahliyah (ignorance). There were harems where patriarchs would use prostituites (who were their slaves) to make money. These women were flirted with by men of low moral values when they were out. To prevent the wives of the prophet and believing women from being molested Allah asks them to cover with outer garments when they leave, so they are easily distinguished and not confused with those women whom other men will tease and flirt with.

Because of this immoral behavior of men, believing women had to succumb and cover up. If men behaved properly, then women would not have to do do this at all.[/quote]
