Describing a woman to a stranger

Women have the habit of describing their female friends to their husbands. This is not correct. It is a way to ultimately destroy one's home and the homes of others. Moreover, it is against honesty because a woman removes her Pardah in one's presence, trusting that one will not describe her to anyone, especially male strangers. To describe a woman to a male stranger is the character of a good woman. Allah Ta'ala instituted the system of Pardah for a woman to hide her beauty from male strangers. To describe a woman to a male stranger symbolizes breaking the system that Allah Ta'ala has instituted which is very grave in general.
