Of course its OK. If she wants to where one then that is fine. In America you have the freedom to wear or not to wear whatever you want (within decency) and a burkah is definitely decent. Just give her the option of sunscreen or a hat or anything else that would protect her.

Your niece has a sunlight allergy!

I would talk to a doctor about this. Sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat would probably work just as well as a burkah without producing awkward glances from friends, family, and DHS agents. If you go to the doctor, you can get either UV treatment to harden the skin or antihistamines to bring down the rash.

A burkah is not in and of itself a sacred item of clothing. Muslims wear them for modesty, but I don't see why someone could not wear one as shade. If she does not mind being mistaken for a Muslim them there should be no problem with it.

Why not? I saw some kids that are allergic to the sun and NASA gave them some space suits to walk outside with. Thats a little over board but they had it bad. For you seek a doctor's help. Long sleeve long pants and always SPF 30 sun block.

Yeah of course it is, if she wants to look like an alien or an half wit! Of course if she was to go to Saudi Arabia she'd fit in nicely. But of course the sun would probably be alot stronger there!!!

Id have to give that a thumbs down. Shes not muslim so thats not a part of her culture., Try sunscreeen with spf 50, or a sun hat.

I think if that's the only way she can go into sunlight then why not! Perhaps she could get one dyed/made in bright and beautiful colours.
But yeah - if it's that serious then go and see the doctor. There's special sunblock and stuff you can get.

Certainly. Make sure she gets the veil, too, and a copy of the Koran(isn't that muslim?). Might as well go the whole way.

Nah , i think if she wants to wear one its because shes a crank and wants to desperately look like a muslim.
Perhaps you can find her a brutal husband too that doesnt let her have friends or education.
