do the arab women shave

[Camber dave]

Do The Arab and indian women that wear all that apparell have any need to shave or is it only a western fad

[trt]

It would be a bit smelly for the husbands if they didn't, lol

I know the Indians do though, I used to go out with one.

I've no idea about those who wear the burka. My muslim friend shaves, but she wears western clothes.

A lot of Europeans don't shave, but I think most British and Americans do.

Many Italian women don't, for example. I once knew a girl who was half Italian. She only shaved one armpit! (Sorry - that should have been in Jokes).

Most of the people in Hot countries shave their hair. In Islam shaving your hair is compulsory as it is a way to keep your body clean. But when you say Arab and Indians then there are people from all religions in Arab as well as in India. But majority shave their hair apart from Sikh as they consider it against their belief.

No one needs to shave - its a choice albeit sometimes not much of a choice if you live in a society that has constructed that it is more feminine and therefore desirable to be hairless. In countries where the Muslim religion is influential removing pubic hair is often practiced

The Arabs have a fit if they see Head Hair, The Americans have Hysterics if they see under-arm hair. Sadly England has become affected with the same Hysteria.

muslims are supposed to shave every 40 days (at least)

I know before their wedding night a woman is supposed to remove all her body hair witht he exception of her eyebrows and eyelashs and hair on her head.

A muslim friend told me it was a sin against Allah for a woman to have no hair on her head but I am not sure if that is true.

I have muslim relatives by marriage and most of them back in the villages do sugar they make up a paste of lemon and sugar but many here will wax or shave as they seem to think it is the western way. And of course some of them think the western way is best.

removing hair is common in Britain too (women who don't shave their legs please hold up your hands.... no, thought not). And women are supposed to cover their hair in Christian churches too, just as some Jewish women wear wigs - the Abrahamic religions seem to have a thing about female hair, don't they?

But Muslim women don't spend all their time in public; in private among friends (of the same sex) or family they are more relaxed and don't have to wear burqas day and night.
