Doing anything against one's own free will, out of fear of people or society, will always have repercussions and many times negative.
I constantly thank God for giving me both freedom and knowledge in life that has enabled me to please Him and indeed myself without worrying about being ostracized and/or threatened. And I do then pity any man or woman who is forced to live a life against their beliefs and views. As long as our actions are not hurting anyone we should have the right to make our own decisions.
And according to my faith and belief whatever I do is out of love, awe and eagerness to please God alone who I believe is infallible unlike the mere mortals around me, hence deserving of my servitude.
That said I wouldn't know how to comment on the issues facing Qatari women exclusively since I am not one and the few Qatari ladies I know are from quite open minded families, and are educated women who are quite happy with their life. Perhaps they are a minority? I really have no idea.
