What are Amish men not allowed to do?
to have mustache
to shave
to lead the business
to pay taxes
Unmarried Amish men shave their faces, while the married ones wear beards. The moustache is not tolerated. For centuries the wearing of moustaches was a requirement in many armies, and pacifist Amish wanted to distance themselves from militaristic culture.
