Hijabs: style of dress or religious requirement?


The hijab, a piece of clothing used mainly by women in muslim countries, is a spatial curtain that provides privacy and shows modesty in the muslim religion. In most of the muslim countries, women are required to wear these "hijabs" in order to follow the Qur'an's instructions. Female individuals are required to wear a Hijab since they become adults. More especifically after their puberty. The enforcement of this muslim impositon varies within the country's laws. For instance, in Turkey, the worn of Hijabs in governt buildings is prohibited, same as in schools and universities. In contrast, in countries like Afghanistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia, the use of a hijab is rigorously enforced. Because of its beauty, the use of the Hijab or ohter arabic clothing, has increased in some western countries, where most of them do not have knowledge of what the hijab represents to muslim women.
