To understand the weight of this phrase, one must separate theology from tradition. In Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), wearing the hijab is widely considered an obligation ( wajib ) for mature Muslim women as a sign of modesty ( awrah ). Virginity, outside of the context of marriage, is primarily a legal status concerning lineage and dowry. However, in Indonesia, these two concepts have merged into a singular, marketable, and often oppressive moral currency.
