Muslim women who wears a hajib is a choice even if she is outside of her country. I think it is just their way of showing their tradition. It doesn't matter how she dress but rather what's important is she lives in accordance with her religion. And please don't judge them on how they look. And feminism does not show on the looks but rather on the beliefs of the person.
