Awesome pics! And ya, he has grown a lot!


I have to know. When I see the ladies in full Hijab and veil. I really want to know what their ID pics are like. I mean do they have all that on or do they have to show their face for ID's at lest? And seeing your son in that made me think "OH SHIT DEE WILL KNOW!"

[dee]

Depends on the country and type of ID. Most you need to have at least one piece of ID (usually a passport) that shows your face. And if you wear a veil, you will be directed to a female only line/area where only women will look at your ID. In the airports, there are separate rooms for females, so that no male ever sees your passport photo or even runs you through a scanner. However, you NEVER have to remove your hijab. Forcing a woman to remove her hijab in public is a criminal offense. (In KSA, 2 young men were given 25 lashes each for tearing their sisters hijab off in public!)

For the picture taking, a woman who wears a veil (such as I do) is taken to a room with a woman photographer. Her picture is taken with the veil on unless it's a passport photo or some other type that requires a full face picture. If you must remove your veil for any reason, you're always with another woman. You never have to show your face to a male. As far as I can tell, even the photos are processed by another female.

All my ID's have me wearing my abeya and hijab. I wanted to wear my veil for my residency permit, but Ric had a fit so I went without. I'm a proper lil woman, what can I say?

Damn. And thanks for telling me. Now I know.



Why do you wear a veil? You aren't a Muslim (unless you converted), or is the law that ladies have to wear the veil as well?
