Daza women work at home and are responsible for cooking and cleaning. Income is primarily received by selling animals. Their clothing is usually white, and they often wear turbans or small Muslim caps. Daza women traditionally wear long wrap-around dresses and head coverings. Modesty requires that women cover their arms, legs, and heads.
Jewelry is also an important part of the women's adornment.
Although the Daza are not required to wear veils, they often wear them for protection against the sun, dust, or cold weather. Daza society is male-dominated. Marriages are often arranged, and gifts are exchanged between the couples' families. Some of the Daza practice polygamy, since Islam allows the men to have up to four wives. A second wife is especially desirable if the first wife does not conceive.
