Review of the Power Asymmetry within a Muslim Family through the Example of Veiled Women in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The previous quantitative research carried out within the research study 'Islam in the Czech Republic: the introduction of Muslims into the public space' demonstrated that the majority population of the Czech Republic perceives the position of Muslim women as asymmetric in terms of power, to the detriment of Muslim women. The most visible sign of this power asymmetry is considered to be the veiling of Muslim women, with the assumption being that these women are forced to veil themselves. The aim of this paper is to present a variety of approaches to the veiling of Muslim women and point out the fact that being veiled, or the rejection of being veiled, is rather an expression of the free choice of a Muslim woman than a result of male pressure. The theme of veiling emerges in the background of the description of the reactions of the majority population to veiling. We come to our conclusions through a qualitative analysis of interviews carried out with men and women who are committed to Islam.
