This shit 100% contradicts Islamic teachings. So do the shrouds they use to bury women alive, like at that point just ditch the little openings that let them breath and see. Wrap them up in cloth and let their guardians transport them around, they shouldn't be walking around without their guardians anyways.

denying rights to half the population contradicts Islamic law
