The situation is very simple. If a Taliban wants to keep his wife in shuttlecock burqa, he should simply stay in FATA. Then it is upto FATA (local) or Pakistan (national level) to deal with the shuttlecock.

However if the same Taliban one day decides to immigrate to the West, he very well knows that shuttlecock burqa is not the norm in the destination / country. If he still insists on immigrating to the West, then all bets are off.

It is possible that the his new adopted country would accept his wife's burqa or they may not. You give up some of your "cultural rights" when you want to settle in a new country.


That's all. Let's not make it more complicated than it really is.
We are talking about "legal" issues, not "moral", court should be deciding cases on "legal" basis. If France has a law which bars veiled women from acquiring citizenship then sure go ahead (at the cost of calling yourself secular/freedom-lover).

Taliban with 1 meter long beard, shalwar 0.25 meter above from ground has all legal backing if he wants to move around anywhere in the world as long as he is not breaking a "law" and immigrate to a country which doesn't specifically bar a bearded/high-shalwar-keeper from citizenship.
