behind the veil

taking a break from work today and strolling around the mall, i realize..

'ninjas' do mostly appear at night, or maybe morning (just that i didn't see or something)

but what i mean here is not in the literal sense as those ninjas who practise martial arts bcoz basically i reckon in this modern, realistic society, one couldn't find ninjas anymore (unless if you watch anime or manga)

but well do they actually still exist? that, i don't have a clue..
at the same time, i partially doubt it coz i would be thinking why would there be a need for ninjas anyway..

i don't mean to be criticize, be sarcastic, discriminate or judge others but from the outward appearance, they just remind me of ninjas, and i learnt this 'term' to describe from my brother..

essentially, those are the arabian or middle eastern ladies who wears full clothing covering themselves except only revealing their eyes..

they are easy to spot really, because they wear only black (as far as i notice) and they don't interact much with other people during any transaction or trade made..
their husbands (or boyfriend?) do their talking..they all look the same to me..

they carry distinctive features really,
e.g.
1. they have a thick accent
(it's often hard to try and get what they really want)
2. they have more expectations and generally have higher demands
(thus, take longer time to deal with)
3. they are rich $$$
**4. they always ask for salty popcorn (which is not available here~)

i'm just curious over how their husbands recognize them..

i understand it's the culture but if they're brought up since young to cover from top to bottom (in order to 'tutup aurat' or sth)..then how would the arabian guys get to know them without even recognizing at their faces first, but only by staring into their eyes?

if it's this manner, does that mean they would only see their true faces when after they marry them home? or do they still live with arranged marriage nowadays? that they're destined to married 'who' and 'who' regardless of their looks or personality and it doesn't matter/bother about this at all?

say, imagine given a scenario or situation where there's a fire in the mall, and there's a need to escape in the midst of chaos, little visibility and the crowd around are lost with only these arabians..

i know the wives could straight away see and know which is the husband but...
can u guess if the husbands would end up safely at home with the same, right wife instead of the wrong one IF the wives are not to make a single noise or sound?

then, i suppose the husbands must be pretty good and know this particular wife's eyes really well right..or do they have special instincts to know that she's the one..

i wonder deep down how these arabian ladies feel, just because they're born into that custom/tradition..

if they're to cover their faces all of their life when they're outdoors and only to unveil their 'mask' at home and only to their spouse or family?
would they think it's a conservative idea in this modern world?
would they mind about this issue for the whole of their lifetime?
would they wanna change this culture if given a chance?
it's a mystery beyond the veil..
