(CNE) Muslim women are not allowed to cover their faces while driving. That is the ruling of the Administrative Court Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
The judges considered the case of a Muslim woman who had filed a complaint against the authority that issued her driver’s licence, Tagesschau reports. The woman had requested to be exempted from the so-called veil ban in traffic. She wished to keep on her niqab, which does not only cover her hair but also her face while driving. The licensing authorities rejected her application, after which the woman took the case to court.
However, the judges ruled in favour of the licensing authority.
