A Moroccan Muslim man was refused to be granted for a French citizenship simply because he required his wife covered in the full-body veils like Burka. From AP via Yahoo
PARIS – French authorities have denied citizenship to a man who forced his French wife to wear a face-covering veil, saying he had rejected national values of secularism and gender equality.
….the man’s application was rejected because officials had determined that he had deprived his wife of the freedom to go about with her face uncovered.
What the French government decided probably was a bit stringent for that guy. Though I respect the Islam religion, its culture and customs, personally, I still feel very sorry for those Muslim women who are required to be covered under the unsightful hideous veils.
