Olive, this is your wrong perception that women are forced to wear burka, majority of women who do this, similar to nuns for their self respect and dignity (by burka, mean covering herself, not necessary the face, which is called Nikab)

just like you indicated kicking your husband even if he ask you to, this show what sort of respect you may have for your better half.. on the other side Muslim women take great pride in respect they offer to their husband and husbands obviously in terms offer the same to her.

Surely law can be legalized that if a women complain about forcing it, but adding a general ban is plain stupidity.
