I think they should wear it if they want.ironically,the bible mentions the veil as well,not to mention that no movie or pictures of the biblical times show women without something covering their hair with relatively long clothing.Why is it that we choose to modernize something that was obviously necessary back then. If we should believe the BIble, its all or nothing,you cant pick and choose what you think is literal and what you think is just figurative.Furthermore,nuns wear the same head coverings only in black and no one looks down on them.
1 Corinthians 11:5-10: "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but tthe woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels."
1 Corinthians 11:13: "Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God (with her head) uncovered?"
