Revision as of 14:22, 21 November 2005
This article is in need of more explanation from someone more knowledgable about Purdah. When is it permissible to not be covered? I understand that different islamic societies have different opinions about this, but I am interested in the exceptions to this rule as being illustritive of the deeper meanings involved:
- If her house is on fire, can a woman run out of it without the correct apparel? Can she exit naked without punishment? Would someone give her clothing quickly?
- Are Islamic prostitutes commonly clothed in burqas or hot pants or both? Do they have brothels, queens (house mothers), or pimps? What is the prostitution industry like in islamic countries? Yes, prostitution is everywhere, so the 'it doesn't happen here' answer is probably not helpful. I'm mostly interested in (for this article) the intersection of purdah and prostitution.
- Which countries currently have the most restrictive purdah traditions? The least?
- Do wealthy women have the same purdah obligations socially and legally as poor people? Ideally? In real life?
- How, and in what scripture, is purdah mentioned, either in Jewish, Christian, or Islamic traditions? What are the origins?

Other meanings - UK (esp. financial/political?)
Article mentions two specific usages relating to elections and budgets. The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee also use the term to relate to a period of time before and after each Interest rate decision in which commitee members avoid giving speeches and speaking to the news media or other interests, on or off the record, about monetary and fiscal policy and the conjuncture, or anything else which could be considered relevant to their interest rate decisions or the forecast. .
Perhaps this (and the other mentioned related usages in English) could be put in another disambiguated article? Are there other equivalent usages outside the UK? --62.173.111.114 14:22, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
