The age at which female Muslims start to wear the veil differs with culture. In some cultures, the veil is restricted to married females, and in others, Muslim female teenagers start wearing the veil at puberty as part of the rite of passage that indicates that they are now adults. Some Muslim girls start from a younger age as a type of practice in Islam. Some Muslim women stop wearing the hijab after menopause, while others keep wearing it throughout their lives.
