This is not religion nor tradition . It came in here when the industry started to sell cheap black materials . Then it spread .
originally - in the area women dressed colorfully : every tribe had his own colors - even there were some tribes in ARABIA where the women did not wear scarf . Qatari ladies used to have nice green ,red dress with golden decoration .
This is one reason . So wearing black is not keeping the traditions just the opposite : bending in front of the indusrty .
