How can one deal with parents' insistence on removing the niqab for work, while wishing to complete a marriage to a committed young man whose father stipulated a sum of money for the bride?

It is astonishing how parents can be advocates for committing evil and disobedience. The girl's duty is to uphold her and not compromise it, even if her parents scold her. As for work, it is up to the girl, and no one has the right to impose it on her, especially if it involves mixing with the opposite sex, as mixing causes discord and leads to violations of honor. We advise the father to assist his daughter in marrying a righteous man and not to burden the suitor with demands, for the best of women are those who are least burdensome.
