Sheikh Yasir Qadhi made clear that most schools of Islam forbid a woman’s hair from being seen prior to marriage. However, the Sheikh did add that in some cases, the hair can be seen once the marriage contract has been signed.
What’s more, according to one Islamic school of thought, the hair can be shown if, in the presence of the woman’s father or brother she shows her hair and they agree to allow her to show it in the presence of the potential fiancee.

Jerven says
Women are complex, almost entirely irrational and hyper-social creatures (thankfully there are, unfortunately rare, exceptions).
They will say and do almost anything to ‘fit in’ with the crowd. (Collectively men act like a ‘pack’, women like a ‘flock’).
Non sequitur? Consider tattoos. Tattoos on men have always been, historically, rare and confined to certain ‘types’, used for signalling “belonging to” an organisation or institution. They are even rarer in women, since they were used to, and still do (literally) mean they “belonged to” organisations and institutions. Whilst those ‘sound’ similar, one denotes status as a ‘member’, the other ‘property’. Yet women now queue up to mark themselves as such … because they’ve been told it’s fashionable, and to fit-in since everybody does it (leading to the equally ridiculous excuse of ‘rebellion’, which doesn’t really work when everyone, including their grannies, is ‘rebelling’ too).
Point? The hijab, niqab and burka have ‘nothing’ whatsoever to do with modesty, culture, etc., they are solely used to signal ‘belonging’ (to the women, which is why ‘they’ enforce its requirements so assiduously and violently) and ‘submission’ and ‘somebody’s property’ (to the men, which is why they see any women not wearing one as ‘free game’, not because they are ‘sexually exited’ by them, but to enforce submission, and because it’s like ‘finding a $20 on the ground’, available to anyone who wants/takes it).
The sad thing? Many western women will (and already do) cheerfully wear them … to fit in.

Holy crap, I’m getting tired of STUPID Muslims.
“Wear a hijab, don’t wear a hijab” — can you not take your decision without seeking attention?
I have far more potential than your typical Achmed. I wish I were Swiss or sheeit.
But I am not, and I won’t be. I was born into this most rotten group of people. And frankly I’m getting tired of the constant negativity we Muslims live in. It’s a stupid one-way street.

There actually are a lot of Muslim reformers in the West, but sadly, they must keep a low profile for their own safety.

Apparently Muslim men are so perverted, even a woman’s hair arouses them. Explains why there are so many Muslim rapists all over the non-Muslim world.

Moslem males are also aroused by feet and ankles!

Sacristan dies and priest injured in suspected jihadist attack in Algeciras. The assailant, who has been arrested, stabbed the men, shouting “Allah akbar”
A sacristan has died and a priest is seriously injured, with at least four people suffering less serious injuries, in two attacks on churches in Algeciras, in the province of Cadiz. According to all sources, the attacks appear to be jihad-related and the investigation has been taken over by a court specialising in terror offences. So far one person, of north African origin, has been arrested as the sole suspect in both cases.
