	Chador (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A chador (in Persian: چادر; Châdor) is an outer garment worn by women; it is one possible way in which a Muslim woman may follow the hijab dress-code.
		Chador is mostly used by the (older) women in rural Iran.
		A chador covers the wearer from head to toe, leaving only her hands and part, or all, of her face exposed.

	An open letter to Ayatollah Rafsanjani
		Chador was originated from the Sassanid court, most probably on the behest of the kings themselves, in order to hide their numerous young and pretty wives—who were hand-picked by the court officials from throughout the country (Karnamak-e Anousheravan)—from their numerous young sons, who often were attracted to their stepmothers.
		At any rate, chador never became popular in Iran, and indeed was unknown to common people till the Safavid period when it was imposed on women in many parts of Iran—more or less for the same reason as in Sassanid court.
		And probably sensing the possibility of being asked then why she was wearing a chador, she immediately added, "I personally like chador." What is interesting here is that your daughter didn't say she wore chador because it was decreed by our faith.

		Fashionable hotels and restaurants refused to admit women with chador, schools and universities actively discouraged the chador, although the headscarf was tolerated.
