That ban was important. In theory the notion of having freedom to wear hijab etc is all fine but what happens is pressure is placed on girls to wear it. So in fact for most the freedom becomes curtailed. They have to wear it or they get called all sort of names. My sister faced this so know what happens. My placing that ban you create a situation where maturity sets in a after the ban removal real choice can be exercised.
I understand that. But not allowing the girls into a university because a scarf imo is setting them back.
But that is because I consider it their free choice to begin with.
