Women

The rights of Druze women are almost identical to men, and are preferred over men for joining the uqqal (group of sages), because they are more spiritually prepared. Women can request for a divorce just as easily as a man and their honor is the most important part of family life.  Since they are valued so much in the family, their social lives are not equivalent to those of men like they are in other facets of life. For this reason as well, women work inside the home, and wear the traditional garb consisting of a blue or black dress and a white veil or, mandil.  They have political and religious equality in their communities.
