I didn't say that a women being covered prevents her from being raped. It is an extra protection and many women don't go out alone, hang around with strange men or out in places they will be put into harm.
As I said, the men look, but they are not looking at what's under the abaya when they can't see it.
What the bible tells us is in Corinthians 2, that it would be better for a woman to shave her head than to show her glory. And talks about a woman covering....and that's the New Testament.
Women in the US even 50 years ago dressed extremely modestly. My mother never went out with a skirt above her knees, and wore a hat and gloves. Not too long before that, women wore dresses that went to the floor and covered them up to their chin and down to their hands, with a hat or a bonnett. It's modesty, not culture.
I am not judging people here. It is really frustrating to see all these problems that are destroying families, when simple rules from our religion are meant to prevent that.
