Does this mean that women in mourning can't veil their faces? I have seen pictures of the Royal family in veils at funerals. Jacqui Kennedy at her husband's funeral. What if a woman chooses to wear a face covering veil, whether she is Muslim or not?

In the 50s and 60s women had to wear head covers in Catholic churches but men did not. Is this still the custom? I remember Jacqui Kennedy wearing a mantilla and starting a fashion rage. Were women repressed by being obliged to wear a head cover?

Rambling again. Sorry.
