Imran's wedding: unveiling some truths about Islamic customs
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mrs Zarine Choudry
Sir: Angela Lambert is way off the mark if she (and other writers of her ilk) thinks that Muslim women are typified by "veiling from head to toe" and "taking second place to their husbands".
There are thousands of career-orientated Muslim women throughout the world, even in Pakistan, where women are at last making headway in the fields of finance, politics, medicine, teaching and the social work spheres.
Islamically speaking, Muslim women (particularly when their children have grown up) are encouraged to use their skills for the enhancement of society as a whole.
Yours sincerely,
ZARINA CHOUDRY
