Although she covers her face with a veil, she
always manages to be coquettish. (Bengali)
With a veil every woman is beautiful. (Azerbaijani)
A woman without a veil is like food without salt. (Pashto)
An ugly woman exchanges a silk belt for a woolen veil. (Russian)
The thicker the veil, the less worth taking it off. (Turkish)
