Would you consider the hijab/burqa degrading to women and why?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I think if you look at high divorce rates in some societies and some of the high cheating rates in some countries, I think from that perspective, these type of rules aimed at preventing the stuff that leads up to the cheating is important.  

Plus in the past, you couldn't even DNA test who your father was. So this whole emphasis on these aspects of society I think has a wisdom.

Naturally I don't think showing your hair is immodest but I think there is a wisdom, that, now with time, is becoming more and more manifest to some of us in applying these rules.

Or you can believe your husband and wife will be faithful with 30%-60% cheat rate in US for example. 2-3% of children are believed to product of infidelity.

Studies also show serial monogamy is very hard (not impossible to do). So I would say divine help regarding this matter is welcomed.

Yup so putting a woman in a bin liner is going to solve all that amiright?
