Cantik Muslimah (Stylish Muslim women)
The discussion about “hejab” in Indonesia does not usually revolve so much around the idea whether or not it is oppressive to women. Although there is peer and family pressure for some women, it is not mandatory for all Muslim women in Indonesia to don it. In the past, the hejab was viewed as purely a sign of religious devotion and often equated with conservatism. Today, the view is still valid (it depends on how one wears it) but it is far from true for everyone. Wearing a hejab is a fashion statement — some wear it with expensive pantsuits and others pair them with very tight low-cut jeans with fake tattoos on their hands. The permutations are unlimited!
