Answer 2

I'm sure it has to do with how devout they are. I have known Islamic women who only wear the veils when they go to worship or are with their more devout family members.

The passport photographers can't force them to take off their veils, as it is in violation of their religious freedom.

Answer 3

The veils are ON!
