Why do Arabian girls cover their faces and don't show others?

I think it is better to edit your question to get better answers in future after being a beta site! All Arabian girls do not do it, it but some are doing it. There are many Arabian girl from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the other Arabian countries that do not keep any Hijab (Islamic cover) as a personal choice which is not according to Islamic rules and they are secular. Even in Islamic rules there is nothing about covering faces and if some are doing it is only a cultural matter. Add the word "Some" before Arabian girls to improve your question. – Persian Cat Apr 7 at 20:02

There shouldn't be a "of" in "behind their husbands". Also, are they keeping a distance from their husband, or from other people? – Andrew Grimm Apr 10 at 23:06
+1 From their own husbands. – Persian Cat Apr 11 at 19:05
