Moreover, the ibu-ibu berjilbab phenomenon has also been linked to issues of social class and economic status. In some cases, the use of jilbab has become a status symbol, with more affluent and educated women using it as a way to signal their piety and sophistication. This has created a new form of social hierarchy, where women who wear jilbab are seen as more devout and respectable, while those who do not are often stigmatized or marginalized.

The Ibu berjilbab has also become a political force. She was courted in every recent election—from Pilpres to Pilkada —because politicians know she votes with her heart and her pengajian (religious study group). This power is double-edged: it has been used to pass progressive local regulations, but also to enforce conservative ones that restrict women’s mobility.
