There is some debate over whether it is religious or cultural.


which is irrelevant.

The issue is the women's right to decide themselves about their
clothing


People tend not to feel entirely free to wear what clothes they
want. Cultural pressures affect almost everyone.

-- or should the government decide if a skirt may reach
beyond the knee, or not, or if a woman may wear a bra or not?


In the latter case ISTR it was some people with their own idea of
what religion demanded.
