After reading this article, I obtained a better understanding of why women veil their hair. The cloth women wear on their head is called a hijab or a scarf. They wear it to show that they dress and behave humbly. The majority of Muslim women wear the hijab, to obey God, and to be known as respectable women. The Hijab liberates women from being thought of as sexual objects of desire or being valued for their looks, or body shape rather then their intelligence. In Islamic culture women are almost forced to wear the hijab and if they do not wear it the women are not thought of as modest women.
