A reasonable assumption, I guess, especially in the most devout of Muslim households.

I listed to some heartfelt calls today from British Muslim ladies who took the plunge and wore covering garments, TBH, they sounded like born again Christians. I didn't hear one call from anyone who was forced to wear them.
Good for them
I know 3 Muslim women very well - 'feisty' doesn't come even close! They always go their own way.
I was talking about a minority, Stooo. But, sadly, it's a minority that definitely exists.
