Incorrect Information about Pakistan

Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A major chunk of this article is very utopian and seems to make claims contrary to reality when it comes to how much veiling is enforced or existing. In Pakistan purdah didn't "fall out of fashion both as gender segregation and as a veil" It is still very much present, and not just in KPK or Balochistan. A lot of schools here are divided by gender or the classes are divided by gender so gender segregation is extremely common. And hadith and ayats about hijab and pardah are part of the education system, and are still very much present and consistently enforced by society and families. Only the most elite has more options.

Better source needed for claim about age that children wear hijab in the UK

Latest comment: 29 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"In some cases, hijabs are worn by young girls from age 6–8."

The two sources are a deleted twitter thread about the supermarket Marks and Spencer selling hijabs for children in their school uniform line, and an article about the latter. ~2026-43019-66 (talk) 18:09, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
