Ok, since everybody started talking about the hijab and what not around it, here is a good model for hejab-wearing women. (if the person in black is a woman, I assume so, the picture is from GulfNews)

The Director General of Dubai Courts Department (DCD), Dr Ahmad Bin Hazim Al Suwaidi, on Wednesday honoured Wedad Lootah, an Emirati researcher, writer and a marriage counselor at DCD’s Family Guidance and Reconciliation Section.
Dr Al Suwaidi honored Wedad for writing what some critics described as a daring book, titled Sirri Lil Ghaya (Top Secret) which discusses educational, health and social aspects of sex within marriage. Dr Al Suwaidi said the book is considered a source of knowledge for lots of people who don’t know life matters related to sexual relationships between spouses who are considered the corner stone of the society.
“The main reason behind publishing Top Secret was educational and to enlighten the public… being a marriage counselor makes me face many challenges and deal with cases which require more awareness plus reforming and reconciling certain behaviors between spouses,” said Wedad.
The book discusses the issue of spouses’ sex as a main pillar of a stable and healthy family and warns against some wedlock matters; such as the lack of sexual harmony between the married couple; that might lead to marital strife.
dear demmers, I as a Canadian citizen feel sorry for the woman in the picture. with all the faith and obedience, what I don't understand is why only the women have to be so covered up, it looks to me like they are reduced to nothing, some type of ninjas. and to be covered up in black in such heat...it is sad to me.
I can understand all the arguments regarding modesty with regards to wearing the hijab but, does it have to cover her face? Why cover the face? Where is her identity? It's lost, I think. She has, voluntarily or NOT, lost her identity as a human being.
I am amazed to hear about that considering that Dubai is a Muslim country with very different visions and perspectives on marriage compared to occidental countries. I suppose that proves that the main lines in any form of marriage are pretty much the same: a healthy sex life makes a healthy marriage.
