"The chaadaree came to Afghanistan via Persia or Mughal India as an upper-class urban prerogative in the 18th century. Over the centuries since, it has been alternately enforced and chosen. Scholarship focusing on the perspective of women wearing the chaadaree shows that many appreciate the privacy, or purdah, that this garment provides as they move about in public (the wearer removes it once she is inside and among women or immediate family members). Many also deliberately circumvent the potential anonymity of a total body covering by focusing on fabric choice (cotton, silk, or synthetic fiber), decoration, and color, each of which can indicate social status, geographic origins, and even religious belief (Muslim vs. Hindu, for example).

On the one hand extolled as the paramount mode for maintaining a woman’s honor and on the other reviled as a tool for women’s oppression."
