In the aftermath of 9/11 Islamic seminaries or madrasas received
much media attention in India, mostly owing to the alleged link
between madrasa education and forms of violence. Yet, while ample
information on madrasas for boys is available, similar institutions
of Islamic learning for girls have for the greater part escaped
public attention so far. This study investigates how madrasas for
girls emerged in India, how they differ from madrasas for boys, and
how female students come to interpret Islam through the teachings
they receive in these schools. Observations suggest that, next to
the official curriculum, the 'informal' curriculum plays an equally
important role. It serves the madrasa's broader aim of bringing
about a complete reform of the students' morality and to determine
their actions accordingly.
