Why do the woman Muslims' wear veils?

Answer 1

I thought that other cultures, other than English, also wore veils when they get married. now, if you are asking why do English women keep them down during the ceremony then that is another question.

Answer 2

Updated AnswerWearing veils or Burkaa is not religion requirement. It is due to local cultures or traditions. However, it is not forbidden by Islam.

The Islam requirement is to wear cloth covering the whole body, including head and hair, except face and hands. The cloth should be neither tight (describing the body) nor transparent (showing body or under cloth). The part of cloth covering the head and hair (but not the face) is called Hijab and this is mandatory by religion.

AnswerMuslim women wear veils (headscarves) because Allah (God) commanded them to do it in the Holy Qur'an. Wearing a veil lets others know that a woman is religious, respectable, and must not be molested.

How and when did man decide he could command another man...Did God not create the people and the world the way he chose to... are we saying he changed his mind and through another being requsted changes??? Did god think it was right for Mohammed to have 13 wives and one of which was said to be 7-10 years old. Google "alisha". Then did god decide that the Muslim way is the only way and everyone else is a kaffer? Why do we have the same blood survive on the same air and water and look the same apart from shades of colour??

I think women wear veils to show or hide feelings, and emotion from the stronger sex; at there human descretion. Man decided to make it a formal requirement to suit him...

The bride's veil and bouquet are of greater antiquity than her white gown. Her veil, which was yellow in ancient Greece and red in ancient Rome, usually shrouded her from head to foot, and has since the earliest of times, denoted the subordination of a woman to man. The thicker the veil, the more traditional the implication of wearing it.

According to tradition, it is considered bad luck for the bride to be seen by the groom before the ceremony. As a matter of fact, in the old days of marriage by purchase, the couple rarely saw each other at all, with courtship being of more recent historical emergence.

The lifting of the veil at the end of the ceremony symbolizes male dominance. If the bride takes the initiative in lifting it, thereby presenting herself to him, she is showing more independence.

Veils came into vogue in the United States when Nelly Curtis wore a veil at her wedding to George Washington's aid, Major Lawrence Lewis. Major Lewis saw his bride to be standing behind a filmy curtain and commented to her how beautiful she appeared. She then decided to veil herself for their ceremony.

Answer 5

Muslim women are required, per Islam religion, to cover her whole body except face and hands. Her cloth should not be tight and should be describing her body figures and sexy parts. Also, her cloth should not be transparent and making visible what is underneath.

Covering face and hands is neither compulsory per religion nor denied. It is matter of local community cultures and traditions.

Religiously it has been known to show honor of the bride. It has also been known to symbolize virginity and modestly. I think the more modern interpretation is just the act of revealing the bride as a form of presentation.
