Siham's contradictory statements about her veil suggest that she may have conflicting feelings about wearing it. On one hand, she may feel pressured to wear it to please her father or adhere to societal expectations. On the other hand, she may also feel restricted by the veil and envious of women who do not wear it. This complexity in her feelings and beliefs about the veil indicate that she is grappling with her identity and autonomy in the face of cultural and familial expectations.
