Adjusting the bra so that it fits more comfortably November 7, 2009

Manal told us about a newly-wed couple that her friends had told her about.
She said when the young man proposed to the young woman, he had one demand and that was for her to wear the hijab.
The young woman, decided to meet him half way, and agreed to wear the hijab but only in Kuwait. When abroad, she would not wear it.
The young man consented and kept to his part of the deal and they are happy with their discrete arrangement.
But Manal shook her head, as did the rest of the women. This was wrong. Either one wore the hijab, or one didn’t. After all, was she wearing the hijab for Allah or for the people?
What Manal doesn’t know is that her daughter, who also wears the hijab, casts it off when traveling too and enjoys a completely different lifestyle abroad which her husband shares as well.
I think it is better that you refrain from passing judgment, Manal.
Now Manal will know.
oh, my! I didn’t think of that!
What goes around comes around..
so true.
bra or hijab ?
lol Fons, the title is bra
the post is hijab
… tits and bras in brasseries,
breast hijabs, brassiere hide the head,
bra titles in Babylonia …
very witty
Its a sad state we are in, a lot of people care about the surface more then anything else.. really sad..
The title misled, I was looking for something more entertaining! lol
Most bras have some adjustments on the straps which increase the comfort level of the person wearing one.
Similarly, in life, we face many mandatory situations where we make adjustments to suit our purposes (as in the post)
The analogy may not be very clear to those people who have never worn a bra
hahahaha! As i said misleading… you have a very large male audience.. please refrain from using terms that would make us jump at the mouse! loooooool!
We are simple creatures with low brain functions!
hahaha alright Marzouq will take care next time
Yes, I too was looking for something more entertaining.
Perhaps she throws off her bra when she is not in Kuwait! 
More seriously, it seems to me that perhaps she doesn’t want to call attention to herself when abroad, so she prefers to blend in with the population there. That would seem quite reasonable.
lol PhantomMan!
What an interesting viewpoint
As I read this post, I stumbled upon this song by Michael Jackson:
A great song. Thanks MBH.
As an Amercan woman in a somewhat rural area we don’t see the hijab at all here. We do though have a lot of Amish and the full bonnets and caps some wear are not too much different in what they cover. I used to think all of these things were just awful but you know as I get older I can see that they all would be wonderful for bad hair days and after the holidays of too much food!

Your comment is quite relevant about bad hair days. Muslim women wearing hijab scarf around their heads never suffer from a bad hair day. In fact, some Kuwaiti women have so perfected “the Look” that they look better with the hijab headscarf than without it – as they come in all sorts of beautiful materials and local women have perfected stylish looks.
Wearing an abaya (like a long black cape of light material) is certainly helpful during gorging sessions of holiday meals and gatherings as one can eat as much as one likes without fearing protrusions of an unwanted nature
