Burka
France's National Assembly, the country's parliament, voted 336-1 on Tuesday in favor of a law banning the wearing of the burqa, the niqab and other full face veils in the country.
Under the legislation, women who violate the law could be fined €150 ($190) or forced to take a French citizenship course.
Any man caught forcing a woman to wear a veil could be subjected to a fine of €30,000 and sentenced to one year in prison.
