Head coverings are reasonable - I must say that I don't think that wearing a veil is a reasonable expectation (Western eyes, I suppose).

I disagree on the pressure - while there is pressure from society as a whole not to wear a veil, there can be much stronger pressure from the men in the family to wear a veil, especially if the women have little contact with non-Muslims.
