Most women in In Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have always kept their hair covered in public.

But increasingly many of them, especially young girls, can be seen wearing the niqab or full-face veil.

In this mainly conservative region, social pressure is often cited as the force behind the trend, but some women insist it is their own choice.

There is also a view that current fashion trends could be playing a role.

  • @nicePathan72 What is the problem if girls wear Niqaab? Isn't it a free society?

  • What is the problem if girls wearing Niqaab, Its compulsary for women to cover her face and body if coming infront of men, although few Mullahs gave fatwa that coning face is not compulsary in Islam, but they are not saying bcos its not compulsary, but they just gave these kinds of fatwas for money.

    These kind of Mullahs (aalim) are the worst men on the face of eart as mentioned in a Hadeeth. Allah guid us all. Aameen.
