Re: women in nikaab...
egarding what niqabi women do in Pakistan for ID pictures, well I don't know about nowadys, but still am sure the old rule still applies; you can get your thumb print done, and I haveeven seen woen's pictures wheile still wearing the niqab on their IDcards. I guess they probbaly have to get their pics taken if applying for a passport, but then all women living in Pakistan don't apply for a passport.
