What is another word for purdah?
Pronunciation: [pˈɜːdə] (IPA) 
Purdah is a term used to refer to the practice of seclusion, particularly among Muslim and Hindu women, whereby they stay indoors or wear a veil when in public. Synonyms for this term include hijab, veil, chador, niqab, and burqa. While the idea behind purdah is to protect women's modesty and honor, it can also lead to their isolation from society and limited opportunities for education and employment. Over the years, there have been discussions and debates about whether or not purdah is still relevant in today's world and how to ensure that women's rights are not compromised while respecting cultural and religious practices.
