That's the whole problem. It's rarely a choice.
The more primitive the religion, the more likely the community's identity is enmeshed in it. To break free is to risk excomunication or even death.
Maybe they may have the guts to get out of a dominated relationship if they no longer have to wear the chains of submission.

I find telling women what not to wear, to be just as bad as telling them what to wear.
Religion and government need to get out of the wardrobe, and let women decide what is best for them.
Grasshopper, what do you think of western VIPs covering their hair in muslim countries?
Trouble is it's their husbands that decide, not the women.
We're assuming that.
But say it's the husband and the clerics that force the women how to dress... what are we doing by putting our foot down, pass a bill that tell them how to dress?
Sometime it could just be that that's how it was done back in the old country, and given enough time, they might rethink that it's no longer for them.
Would forcing a ban do more harm than good?
One thing is for sure - if their dress are banned, they won't have many opportunity going to see community services or run into other women who could tell them where to go and what to do when the husband beat them up or whatever.
The wearing of all conspicuous religious symbols in public schools was previously banned in 2004 by a different law, the French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools. This affected the wearing of Islamic veils and headscarves in schools, as well as turbans and other distinctive items of dress.
Your jokes (Tisme) can be too... mmm deep. Dumb it down a few notch McGuiness.
I don't buy that argument. If the burqa was banned, do you think all these women would just lock themselves in their house?
Anyway, the French government are making sure that the next generation of muslim women will be "free" of this ridiculous shackle to an archaic custom.
The French government are not just picking on muslims -
Back to agreeing with you luutzu. I know I am a bit slow on the uptake, but with all his cryptic twists, I haven't EVER got a f***ing clue what Tisme is going on about.
It's a cultural difference. We don't trust people whose faces we can't see and if other cultures want to live here they should adapt to our culture, not the other way around.
People can't adapt overnight.
And part of Australian culture is being tolerant to harmless beliefs and practices.
It's not harmless if it's oppressive or providing a cover for crime.

ain't that right McGuyver?
