Reply to comment by Desiman4u in Kerala Muslim women burn hijab in solidarity with Iranian movement | Watch by sirbarani

Practically mandatory for a lot of Muslim women in the state. Enforced by family, relatives, neighbors, and the social set up. There is online bullying as well.

Maybe 30-40% women wear a hijab now. It wasn't this way, and has happened over the last 30 years.

So this event is good and will have an impact and spread the message

if they are forced to wear one by community and stuff, then it’s wrong. It needs to be their decision, similar to whole abortion issue in US. By all means, come to the streets and protest, I am with them on that. Womens rights are a thing and they should be allowed to do whatever they want with their clothing and bodies.
