Unfortunately, the topic of a “free haired” Muslim woman not covering her hair is rather a stigma in Malaysia. A man criticized a woman for wanting an Islamic husband while she is not wearing the “tudung.” For the most part, there are instances where a “free haired” woman is religious as well.
Man criticizing “free haired” woman for wanting a religious husband
The men commenting on the situation are accusing this woman of not being entirely too serious with a religious man. For obvious reasons, the man may ask his either future wife or current wife to start wearing the hijab. This may be an uncomfortable conversation if the woman is not wearing the hijab.
Others are defending the woman citing that it is not nice to expose her situation to others. It is a personal choice if a woman chooses not to wear the hijab, despite the religion recommending it.
