Hello , I have been trying to find a solution for this but I can't so posting this here
My family members try to control what I wear and I don't like it. I am 16 , indian , muslim
I understand that muslims wear modest clothes but I don't think it's correct to force it upon someone
I don't think I wear anything sexual but even if I do I don't believe it's right for them to comment on that
They have problems with me wearing cut sleeve
And also maybe something that is cropped , cropped but won't necessarily show my skin btw
Or something tight from my chest
The funny thing is I wear all this outside while travelling but I can't wear it in my own home .
My father doesn't let me wear it even outside when I am with him but my mom let's me do it.
She definitely have problems with my clothing but it's really unpredictable with her , sometimes she's alright , other times she's not
I live in a joint family so today for the first time my aunt said " * my name , it's really wrong , don't wear such clothes "
And what am I wearing ? A loose cut sleeve top and it's not cropped and straight jeans
I just can't take it . I know freedom will come when I move away from them.
But is there really nothing I can do ? I kinda feel fear that if my aunt tells my mom and then when my father comes home he's going to say it and then my other uncle might comment on it as everyone would be having problems with it
I would really appreciate if you have any suggestions. I just really don't wanna deal with it. I want to wear what I wanna wear
And it's so sick and sad that I feel unsafe in my house but that's a thing that I don't think can be changed .
