In Karnataka, following the state government's revocation of the 2022 hijab ban, it has been reported that 40-50% of the 145 Muslim girl students who dropped out from government and aided colleges have not returned to their studies. Many of these students, such as Jasmeen and Aminamma, have opted for marriage instead of continuing their education. Others, like Rayana Suhana, have turned to vocational training, learning skills such as tailoring to support their families. Educationists and activists have voiced concerns about the long-term consequences of the hijab ban on the aspirations of these students, with some stating that the ban served to create divisions among students. Ruksana Hassan, a psychologist, noted that many girls' dreams of pursuing careers in fields like medicine or civil services have been thwarted. Activist Aliya Asadi, who played a role in the legal battle against the ban, emphasized that the government's decision should be viewed as a restoration of fundamental rights rather than a favor. She called for the government to conduct re-examinations for those affected by the ban and to compensate teachers who lost their jobs due to the situation.
