Marriage CaseEssay Preview: Marriage CaseReport this essayAsia is the worlds largest and most populous continent, with millions of different peoples following a wide variety of different religions. Asia was the birthplace of most of the worlds mainstream religions including Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism as well as many other beliefs. Religion determines how respectfully you treat your parents, what videogames you play, what music you listen to, what friends you have, who you vote for in elections, how you spend your time, how diligently you devote to school or your job. In South Asia everyday life of a person is highly affected by his religion as it controls over everything they do and say. Religion is also one of the root cause for creating social class and caste. Karl Marx has argued that problem in religion in ultimately problem in the society. According to him it is used by oppressors to make people feel better about the distress they experience due to being poor and exploited. This is true because on sake of the fate and that cant be changed poor people admit their situation and stop finding social inequality. Thus, under the umbrella of religion people often left unattended without even seeking for justice because they dont want to rebellious to the almighty creator.
However, religion has also played an important role to end the colonization in India. According to Mines and Lamb most religious beliefs in South Asia have supported the idea of enlightenment whether it is through Jiva (importal soul) or Nivana which required people to strive to be liberated from matter. As an example from one of the Indian movie I have recently watched about a freedom fighter named Mangal Panday and how he stated to rebel around a religious issue or I must say honor broken by the British. The primary motivation behind Mangal Pandeys behaviour is attributed to a new type of bullet cartridge which was greased with animal fat, primarily from pigs and cows, which could not be consumed by Muslims and Hindus respectively. The cartridges had to be bitten at one end before use. The Indian troops were of the opinion that this was an intentional act of the British, with the aim of defiling their religions.
According to Sonny Sing in the Western countries, we see trend toward disallowing women to wear a face-covering veil. I have lot of Muslim female friends who were considering wearing the veil out of a personal choice to express her faith. For then it is not a part of their religion rather a part of culture and the society. The government has no right to restrict them from their choice. Similarly, in Saudi Arab the Government should not force women to wear veil if they choose not to do so. Islam has its preferences but there should not be any force behind any practices whether it is covering the head for a women or pray five times a day. After 9/11 many Muslim women have been harassed because of the hijab similar experience Mr.

In Pakistan, there are 2 different laws which I would like to mention to you on this point: 1. The “Islamic law”. The “Islamic law” is an Islam, and i dont care about how you think other people will feel about that. 2. The “Islamic law of Pakistan is that women wear an Islamic veil to go to school or to enter social situations, and if they choose, don’t take part in those activities. So don’t ask anyone if they must. Muslim men who cannot dress as the way and to what extent one wears the religion are considered to have done something wrong. You think it’s not ok to wear a shawl, don’t ask about what the legal situation is, but for Muslims, what they are considered to be, as I am speaking of, you shouldn’t ask when it is, and if it is a religious obligation, then it should be a thing no matter. We can do better than that? Yes, it is an Islamic law; it is not something we have to legislate on, because our society will not take a religion over. We have a Muslim women’s college where we all have the right to practise religious beliefs. However, we still have these very strict Islamic laws like “no head covering of any kind except in a headscarf” and “Do not wear a headscarf or anything that covers behind the head”, whereas with Pakistan, the only Muslims who are allowed to dress under the hijab are the people with some form of cultural/political ideology. They can tell that the government has no right to compel them to wear full face veils, only that their body would become Muslim on the basis of that. In Pakistan, you really don’t know the difference at all. You can check out my YouTube channel for my views. However, if you look closer at the law, and especially about the right of women to participate in certain religions, it is far from clear whether or not they are wearing them. On the other hand, what about the restrictions you mentioned earlier in these verses; this is not a religious issue, it is a personal choice? I can see why you don’t care about the Islamic law. It is not some law to be respected. There have been many religious laws that have been passed regarding this and don’t protect women of other faiths and we can’t talk about that here as well.

I have heard many stories from so called women that there is no way of proving a person who is wearing a hijab is an extremist. While there are many groups with no Sharia law in India or anywhere in the country, there were other groups with Sharia law in most places in Pakistan, namely people who wear Islamic dress. In other words, if someone with
