Donot place extreme fetters on the women in light of the many ethnicity that live throughout the Muslims world with their ignorant ways and practice on how they lowly kept women in their sight. Syrians are good to this practice of the veils that are now being worn and taken to be the true interpretation of the veil in the Quran- this is wrong. Women get educated and and stop this ignorance as well. Allah only commands ease not hardship and he did not command you to breath in your own carbon dioxide something that is not good at all for your health. He prescribe a healthy way of living. So ponder and live in honor, truth and peace

Their covering halfway would look similar to how the shawl/scarf/dupatta is thrown around the neck by the Indians, Pakistanis,etc. when they would wear their shalwar, and choli's etc.
After God commanded the women to help in assisting the men from committing Zina with the eyes. They were ask to cover up certain parts of their bodies with some exception
