[mukto-mona] Re: {PFC-Friends} Re: The verdict of High Courts of Indian states of Punjab and Haryana: Azaan, Not Loudspeakers, Integral Part Of Islam



"সৌদি আরবে বিদেশী নারীদের মাথায় কাপড় দিতে হয়।" 

I lived in Saudi Arabia for some time in late 70s but never heard of such rule or order that foreign ladies needed to wear head scarfs in the kingdom. I have seen foreign women roaming in Saudi cities in their respective garbs, though in a conservative way. However, when they meet Saudi high dignitaries, such as the king, they try to be additionally conservative in dress codes just as a courtesy, nothing else. If Angela Merkel or Theresa May did not have head scarfs during their meetings with the Saudi king, I don't think they broke or violated any rule.


Ambassador Humayun Rasheed Choudhury prsented his credential to King Khaled wearing (white) payjama punjabi and a kisti tupi. Ambassador Humayun Kabir met Ayatullah Khomeini wearing a lungi. It was their choice, not any rule or requirement. Similarly, when Dipu Moni accompanied Sheikh Hasina to meet the Saudi King ( I thought it was Abdullah), she covered her head with the anchal of her sari, which she never does otherwise.

Only a couple of weeks ago, Theresa May also met Saudi King without head cover. Gone are those days that everybody will have to abide by Saudi dictum!

Everybody has the right to wear what he or she likes, not what his or her host wants.

মাথায় কাপড় ছাড়াই সৌদী বাদশার সাথে দেখা করলেন জার্মানীর চ্যাঞ্চেলর এঞ্জেলা মার্কেল। সৌদি আরবে বিদেশী নারীদের মাথায় কাপড় দিতে হয়। মার্কেল সেই নিয়ম ভাঙলেন? আচ্ছা, কোন দেশ যদি নিয়ম করে সেদেশ ঢুকতে হলে 'বিকীনি পড়তে হবে, তাহলে কি হবে?
