i'll tell you a story that may make this clearer: if somebody offered you a box full of candy ,some of it was wrapped and branded and some wasn't wrapped at all ,which would you choose? most people would choose the wrapped candy because it's sealed from any microbes in the atmosphere and because it's protected from anything harmful and you're sure you are the only one who ate this candy,noone chewed it or has taken a piece before you.this is the same as covering yourself,your then protected from anything from the outside ,anyone who sees you will know you haven't been touched by another man ,none has tried you before and you'll be solely for your husband. that's the part relating to marriage. another thing is that through covering yourself'wearing a viel' you are protecting others from thinking badly,you aren't 'selling' yourself to the public,men won't be inclined to feel attracted to you unless they like your will or your way of thinking and they'll either want to marry you or just be friends,they won't want to 'take you to bed'! i'll tell you another story: if you've got a bowl of your favorite food ,you'll want to keep it away from others so you could eat it and enjoy it,so you'll cover it and hide it somewhere until you want it,women are these favorite foods of men ,so God told us to cover ourselves so that only one man who knows our worth will uncover us and taste us and enjoy us (our husband)! so when covering yourself your taking the best from people and your giving others the best of you too. about covering the face or not .it's said in the quran that we should cover our bodies ,but some poeple say you should cover your face and some say your face and hands can show ,this is just a matter of belife, it's known though that if you're very beatiful and if any man looked at you will be atrracted to you you should cover your face because then you'd be making them want you otherwise , people don't agree on wether or not you SHOULD cover your face..i'm a muslim by the way and i cover myself but i'don't cover my face.i hope my answer satisfies you and please tell me if you want to ask about anything
