I also saw dancing of the girls behind their Abayya. It was what surprised me the most. They danced, and like mad and nothing happened to their religion then. There were men over there as well. Though boys over ten were forbidden but still there were college lab workers, the people who arrange sound system and stuff. At that time, I felt the whole Abayya thing very fake indeed. Humbug! These liars call themselves very religious-oh-so-good girls, and when given opportunity, they can show themselves naked.
Well, I can't totally blame them, it is just the culture...they want to get good proposals from respectable families, eh. I hope things will change!
