France could fine women for wearing face veil
- 12 years ago
The French government has taken another step toward banning face veils in public after the cabinet had approved the final draft of a proposed law.
The proposed law has yet to be ratified by parliament, but if passed there, it will mean women who cover their faces in public will be fined and stiff pentalties will be used on any men who force their wives or daughters to cover up.
