How is a proper Muslim women (according to the Qur'an) supposed to dress and act?


Just so were clear, I asked this question because I am truely curious. Not to start a fight of be racist or anything.
 
She is supposed to be covered from head to toe. She can't show her arms or legs. She can't go out by herself. There has to be some male family member with her, even if she is dying and going to the hospital, she has to have a mahram. If anyone says otherwise, it's BS. What I told you is what is in the Koran. That's Sha'ria law.
To the third poster, here are the verses in the Koran that talk about Hijab.

“O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition.” (Quran 7:26)
“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59)
 
Depends on where you live.

Some of strict, more traditional countries say they have to wear a scarf, and be completely submissive to the husband.

I live in the US, in a high concentration of Muslims, and it's a more liberal view, which still works well within Islamic rules and law. The headscarf is considered mandatory by some people, but I think, as well as several Muslims in the area where I live, that as long as a girl isn't dressing provocatively, she does not need the scarf (Such as tight, form fitting clothes, and showing a lot of skin).

Muslim married couples where I live are equal, usually.

So it's really more of the culture of where you live, as opposed to the religion.

EDIT

to the first poster, show where it says this in the Quran, because you are full of it. As well, Sharia law is NOT a reliable source.
 
What I will tell you is contained in Holy Quran and sayings of holy prophet of Islam. I am not talking about traditions of various societies.

She should dress modestly, covering attractive parts of her body. She should not wear tight dresses. She should cover her head. If you have seen a Christian Nun, you have seen the dress of a true Muslimah.

Some scholars insist that face covering is also required. But if God wanted it, He could have mentioned it in His Book.
