Several Western countries including France, Spain and Canada have proposed laws which would ban Muslim women from wearing a Niqab in public spaces. A niqab is a cloth that covers the face and is worn by some Muslim women in public areas. There are no laws in India which ban burqas. Proponents argue that the ban infringes on individual rights and prevents people from expressing their religious beliefs. Opponents argue that face-coverings prevent the clear identification of a person, which is both a security risk, and a social hindrance within a society which relies on facial recognition and expression in communication.

@9ZL6FBQ1mo1MO
Yes but it should be a choice.There should be seperate identification and also see if the female is under family pressure and other threats to do so.
@9PSPX4GMarxist Communist6mos6MO
It's upto them. Also, it depends onto the fact that, if they were indoctrinated by religious zealots, when they were young.
@9HQRYGDIndependent1yr1Y
No, because people can abuse this right. My family business was robbed by some people who were using niqab to seal their identity. This is a threat to us.
Only Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists were there in Ancient India and only they should be given more rights, privilege's and freedom today.
@9FMZP8H1yr1Y
Yes it is there religious freedom
@9F5C7NC1yr1Y
yes ,but she should verify she is not being forced to wear this
Give freedom to women to choose what they want
It should be their choice. It shouldn't be forced on them
No but same thing should be applied on other religions too for eg: heavy kadas and tekas. One should accept his religion by heart and it doesn't require public display of the same. One uniform code should be applied and followed by all.
@9CQ4QXV1yr1Y
Examination halls, polling stations should be able to enforce the same dress code for all people equally.
As long as whatever she is wearing is out of choice but not of coercion
@93QQNZDIndependent2yrs2Y
It's upto them if they want to wear it or not it's there rights
Not forcefully but by there own choice
@922GVQN3yrs3Y
depend on civic ceremonies
@8ZHW6MQBiju Janata Dal3yrs3Y
It is the woman’s choice. But identity should be verifyable
@8YTXJJJIndependent3yrs3Y
Women must be left independent for their choices.
@8YM6MTW3yrs3Y
At the will of the women but it is not to be forced (by anyone irrespective of family or religious leader)
@8YJXFFK3yrs3Y
If face veil is banned , every symbol of private symbols should be banned for everyone from every community and a uniform dress code should be applied to eveyone.
@8YBQ8VWBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Their choice, independent of culture
@8Y6NQC3Independent3yrs3Y
It's their personal choice to wear anything
@8Y4Z3HD3yrs3Y
It should be up to the female choice should be hers
@8XXCPCZBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
No, unless they wear it by choice
@8XLWCGB3yrs3Y
Depends, if a lady agress and is comfortable ,then i don't see any problem...but forcing or moral policing on this should be illegal and considered offensive
@8XL36CT3yrs3Y
Its their choice, if they want they can wear or else not
@8XH3R9CIndependent3yrs3Y
No one want to wear veils but if someone wants to then they can wear
@8X9KDS6Independent3yrs3Y
No, but hijabs should be allowed.
@8WL27XDIndependent3yrs3Y
If they’re wearing the niqab out of their own volition then absolutely
@8W2MRM73yrs3Y
If it's the female's choice to wear, then ok but I am pretty sure most females don't want to wear it.
@8W2JD2L3yrs3Y
No, It is based on choice of women
@8VWC87LBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Yes, as long they are willingly doing it and not forced by their culture.
@8V2VFC33yrs3Y
No, any patriarchal act, unethical or anti-women tradition under the garb of freedom of religion should be criticized, scrutinized and banned after adequate conversation with the religious group under question.
@8TXSTM5Bharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Its the choice of the woman.
@8THFR6WIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should be ensured that they are not forced to wear it.
Government Don't Ban that, But Make a Awareness of Their own Freedom.
@8TFJPGB3yrs3Y
If they r cooperating with security agency as & when required then be allowed
I mean,its their choice,if they want to wear it,fine,if they don't want to wear it,also fine
@8TDVLFMBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Its personal choice. But we should not encourage women for this. But if women dont want then they can deny wearing this. Any such ban is extreme case.
@8TCRLDY4yrs4Y
It hides the identity and cofidence wihin them.
@8TBL5FHBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
It depends what kind f public places , there should be some restrocted places for face coverings
@8T9J2NM4yrs4Y
If they want to wear a niqab or any other religious symbol it's fine but it's better that it be discouraged
Depends if they want to wear, they can wear it
@8T22YMQIndependent4yrs4Y
In Civic Ceremonies NO !!
@8SZZHRRBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
They shouldn't be forced to wear it. If they're wearing because they want to then the government is no one to interfere.
@8SVQH6RIndependent4yrs4Y
Only if it is done volunteraly
Yes but while ensuring identification by female officers there needs to be regulation ensured to stop families from forcing it on women.
Yes while obviously also allowing female staff members to privately verify identity as well as ensuring education to eradicate Stockholm Syndrome and forced veiling by family
It should not be cultural compulsion but should be upto the will of women
@8SSTJDN4yrs4Y
We are no one to decide what a person should wear. Talking about civic ceremonies there is a dress code for such ceremonies and cultural dresses are a part of that dress code.
@8SJFBBV4yrs4Y
Allowed? Who is the government to allow what women should wear
Whatever A woman desires to wear she should be able to
@8S4DL544yrs4Y
It’s totally should be their choice and not an obligation.
@8QMTR8K4yrs4Y
Yes. But only if it's the women's independant choice to wear a veil. The government must not restrict someone from wearing what they like but there must be a civil society campaign that encourages women to come out of patriarchal outdated practices.
The choice should solely be left to women
@8QM3R534yrs4Y
Other than woman wearing the veil no one else should have a say in it. It is upto her as to what she wants to do about it
@8Q9G6CQBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Not a niqab, but if they want to uphold their religion so much then only smtg like a hijab
@8Q9G6CQBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Not a niqab, but if they want to uphold their religion so much then only smtg like a burqa..
@8PX5G6P4yrs4Y
It should be taken care that the clothing is not forced on women and it should not also happen that the woman is kind of conditioned to feel guilt if she chooses not to wear
@8PVJRZN4yrs4Y
No, and ban such face coverings
Every individual has autonomy over what they do. Though Parda is regressive towards women, unless women themselves stand against it, they should be allowed to wear whatever they want.
@9CR83PV1yr1Y
According to the dress code mentioned .If no dress code then they should be well maintained to prevent the ceremony
Woman should have individual freedom to wear whatever they want. The point of "allowing" doesn't arise at all.
@9CQNPGFIndependent1yr1Y
absolutely not, it's an abhorrent anti-woman thing which should be abolished, it's high time
@9CQMZFGIndependent1yr1Y
No strictly in public places ..ok in home and temples.
It should depend on them. No one should be able to force them to do it. But if they are doing it on their own will, no once should be against it too.
It should be individual choice state is no one.
@9CQK26X1yr1Y
No one should be 'allowed' for anything. they're free to pursue their own will.
@9CQJW9XIndependent1yr1Y
it should be the women's choice, if the person wants to wear it, she can or vice versa
@9CQJ3S41yr1Y
right to choose to the woman if she wants or not.
@9CQHSTH1yr1Y
Although,In India most of the women wear Niqāb because they are forced to wear it. Although people who force women should wear this, should be punished but those who are comfortable are allowed to do so.
It's up to the individuals
@9CQF4CY1yr1Y
Yes , but their identity must be verified by the wives of respective officials .
@9CQBQWZ1yr1Y
They can wear it if they wish to. It is their own choice but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member.
If there is a uniform then no, if no uniform theu can wear whatever they like.
Nothing that hides ones identity in a public space. Goes against trust based societies.
@9CQ88YVIndependent1yr1Y
Yes, Its their choice and no one should be forced to wear or not to wear
It's individual preferences
@9CQ76K81yr1Y
A woman should wear whatever she chooses to wear, and there shouldn't be any state mandated regulations on what one may wear.
@9CQ6VMT1yr1Y
@9CQ68VR1yr1Y
Yes, but only if men are also allowed to wear face masks or veils.
If women want to put on a veil, they're free to do so. If they don't want to cover up their face, that's cool too. In essence, give women the agency to do what they wish to do with their bodies.
@9CQ4X3Z1yr1Y
It's their choice they should not be forced
It should depend on her. Her choice
Yes but it should be her choice, she should not be forced to wear hijab
I prefer women wear nothing at all in civil ceremonies. They should be in birthday suit as nature intended.
@9CQ2GTD1yr1Y
They can do whatever they want but no one should force ot on them. And also Government should educate people to know the evils of their religions.
Yes.Women should not be stopped from wearing Niqab/face veil. But, since these choices are rooted in modesty culture , they should not be endorsed.
Everybody should be allowed to wear whatever they want in a public or a governmental place or institution but private organisation can enforce their codes of dressing that needs to followed by the members/beneficiaries of that organisation.
@9CPZL54Independent1yr1Y
That should be left to the choice of individual
It should leave up to the individual
@9CPYK8S1yr1Y
I don't really care about it tbvh
@9C8CFNB2yrs2Y
Yes, but we need to increase education for such matters.
@9BDBJL7Bharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
Should be occasion specific.
@99R5TPT2yrs2Y
Personal wish or as per their faith or belief
@99NZQV62yrs2Y
In weddings or Muslim functions it's their choice in schools and other things where a dress code exists no.
