Veils

"Does the woman who escapes from you, or approaches you lowering the veil over her face, or turns her back on you, confirm your high status, as she might think and say and you might think and say, or is it a great insult? Does this constitute the woman's decorum, chastity, and modesty? If so, then men should wear veils and let them meet each other and meet women lowering veils over their faces the way women do."
