A new set of rules are making it mandatory for Muslim women to show their ‘id-ka-chand’ (covered face), which is always guarded be the nikab.

In a move to identify that, it is a woman who is taking the driving test and not anyone else, the Driving Standards Agency has set forth a new requirement according to which the women driver has to unveil her face to female test examiners.

The necessary identification process is carried on in a private place with the examiner and an interpreter present for the occasion. The concerned authorities will then match the photo ID card with the women drivers to make sure that it doesn’t turn out to be a case of impersonation.
