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.

It's upto them. Also, it depends onto the fact that, if they were indoctrinated by religious zealots, when they were young.
@9HQRYGD11mos11MO
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.
