The women are so happy that they do not need the cover and the mask. They felt so free. I wish that your country's law should be flexible and friendly whatever all women have the right to choose. That's unfair even it is very hot in the summer. I learned that (if I'm right) women must cover their hair. It is just like a pubic hair. That one I do not understand. If they are not wearing it, it means that they are single.
I live in the us. I'm iraqi-american. Nobody is forcing me to do anything, nor do I feel I'm being controlled or restricted in any way. It's between me and God. I don't believe in hijab being an obligation imposed by a country, but I recognise it as a religious obligation and observe it. For me, it's just as much as a freedom to not have men treat me as an object. It's a line that makes me think about every way I behave- my actions are read not just as mine, but often as that of the muslim community.

Also, pubic hair is not the same as hair on your head.
Men cannot show that area of the body, either. Women can show their arms, legs, and -hair- in front of male family members and other women, also young children.
The headscarf isn't a symbol of being married or unmarried. Once you hit puberty, you are supposed to start covering all except the face/hands and wearing lose-fit clothing. Sometimes girls, esp those attending islamic schools, do so before then.
