Here is a report that I did on Middle Eastern Women. My parents wanted me to see how it is in another country and a different religion. I would not want to grow up in a situation like that and I wouldn't want my children to have to either.

BurqaA burqa (also transliterated burkha, burka or burqua from ???? in Arabic) is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions for the purpose of cloaking the entire body. It is worn over the usual daily clothing (often a long dress or a shalwar kameez) and removed when the woman returns to the sanctuary of the household (see purdah).

I met Nargis as she was hurrying home with her mother-in-law from a wedding.
"Come in for a cup of tea," she said. "See how we live."
Her home is a broken down, bombed out house in the west of Kabul. Sunlight comes through the roof - where it exists. The walls are pockmarked with bullet and shrapnel holes. The neighboring houses were all destroyed from the mid-1990s rocketing of Kabul. Nargis - Her name means narcissus in Persian - lives in an area of utter desolation.
Once we were inside, Nargis' father-in-law took over the conversation, but eventually,
I got his permission to interview Nargis herself, although he did not allow me to take her photograph.
She sat with her back to my translator, a large shawl over her head, breast-feeding her youngest child. (
so it looks like some do show there faces now but not all)
When I was looking for information about the eastern women there were so many web sites on buying or dating them it took a long time just to find this much information at the top because It looks like they don’t let the women have interviews i guess. "Why they can’t show their faces"Middle Eastern women are among the most beautiful women in the world. They have real beautiful shape and cute faces. They dress in wide dress in order not to show their beauty for modesty. And they cover their faces because only a woman’s man is supposed to see her true beauty. One other reason is for other men not to be tempted to seduce or talk to other man's women.
"What Eastern Women Cannot Do"- Women are often married as soon as their menstrual cycle begins (which usually occurs between 8 and 14 years old) And to complete strangers!
- Women are not allowed to eat at the same table
- Women are not allowed to speak to males of non-relation
- Women are not allowed a marked headstone
- Women can legally be killed, raped, and/or humiliated to restore honor to the family or pay for a man's crimes
- Women cannot enter a mosque (church)
- Women cannot board buses or trains without a man's written permission.
I found some more information on how the husbands are to their wives.Their husbands keep them locked up, escort them everywhere, beat them, and force them to cover their faces.
(I found some youTube videos that are messed up about the middle age women)"What they do to the girls"
"The child, completely naked, is made to sit on a low stool. Several women take hold of her and open her legs wide. After separating her private parts, the operator, usually a woman experienced in this procedure, sits down facing the child. With her kitchen knife the operator first pierces and slices open the hood. Then she begins to cut it out. While another woman wipes off the blood with a rag, the operator digs with her sharp fingernail a hole the length of the c******** to detach and pull out the organ. The little girl, held down by the women helpers, screams in extreme pain; but no one pays the slightest attention. The operator finishes this job by entirely pulling out the c*******, cutting it to the bone with her knife. Her helpers again wipe off the spurting blood with a rag. The operator then removes the remaining flesh, digging with her finger to remove any remnant of the c******* among the flowing blood. The neighbor women are then invited to plunge their fingers into the bloody hole to verify that every piece of it is removed."
Women are buried alive or shot for just for walking along in town or just not doing something they were told.
