Female In Chador Editorial Image

A chādor or chādar is an outer garment or open cloak worn by many women and female teenagers in public spaces in Islamic countries. Wearing this garment is one possible way in which a Muslim woman can follow the Islamic dress code known as ḥijāb. A chador is a full-body-length semicircle of fabric that is open down the front. This cloth is tossed over the womans or girls head, but then she holds it closed in the front. The chador has no hand openings, or any buttons, clasps, et cetera, but rather it is held closed by her hands or tucked under the wearers arms. Woman on the picture combine traditional and modern as she holds two mobile phones in her hands.
