I understand why Muslim women where the head scarf (sorry I dont know the correct names), which in my opinion looks very nice on a lot of women and I understand the religious reasons behind it. But why do some women choose to where the veil, from what I understand that does not have a religous meaning, its a personal choice. So why do some women choose to wear it when they dont have to?
I recently read about a case in Egypt where a woman had been asked to remove her veil (simialr to the couple of cases here in the UK), so if a predomently Muslim country has similar issues with it, why do some still choose too?
I'm not slating those that do, simply trying to find out why?
