Abstract

Religious commitment can be a predictor of sexual behavior, and wearing a veil may be a characteristic of religious commitment. This study investigated the relationship of religious commitment and sexual behavior in dating among 265 young adult (20–38 years) Muslim women in Indonesia who are veiled and not veiled (200 vs. 65 women, respectively). In addition, the study sought to determine if religious commitment and sexual behavior among the veiled women were associated with their reasons for veiling. Data were collected using the Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (Indonesian version) and Sexual Behavior Inventory. Overall, results showed a moderate level of religious commitment among study participants, with significantly higher religious commitment for veiled versus not-veiled women. Both groups were involved in sexual behaviors in dating; however, less involvement was noted for veiled versus not-veiled women. A significant negative relationship was noted between participants’ religious commitment and sexual behavior. Among the veiled women, those who were veiled on the grounds of carrying out religious orders and of their own desires had the highest degree of religious commitment, whereas those who were veiled because they obeyed the religious rules had the lowest religious commitment.
