When I came to the Tulsa County Courthouse to complete my divorce, I was denied entry solely because I am a Muslim woman. For me and many other Muslim women who wear a hijab, it is as much a part of us as other parts of our clothing. I choose to wear hijab with pride as a way of showing my connection to my religion and my community ― as a part of my very identity. Being asked to remove my hijab in public by a man is like being asked to take off my shirt in front of him. Muslim women across the country face these challenges on a daily basis.
