Iffat-ul-Musalimat Iffat-ul-Musalimat: Pg. #4

"In many families, educated Muslim women consider purdah a severe constraint. Even if they don’t necessarily think so, their liberal husbands, using their power of being their keepers, convince them that it constricts them. Such thinking is not so common but it has certainly found its way in many homes. Moving about without a veil is now considered to be fashionable.

One wishes they did something for the material benefit of the community as the Western women in their societies did. They could establish madrasas, study medicine, and benefit their sisters. They could do one thing or the other to find an aspect of good in the wrong that they are doing. But we have none even for an example."
