Excerpt:
For the first time in Danish legal history, a woman has given evidence in a courtroom wearing a niqab, reports TV2 News.
The woman was a witness during a High Court hearing on 7 August and was wearing the traditional Islamic headscarf that covers the face, leaving only the eyes visible.
Judge Henrik Bitsch explained that the situation was resolved when the woman produced her driver's license as ID and then removed her face covering in front of a female judge to confirm her identity.
