The French government has refused to grant citizenship to a foreign national on the grounds that he forced his wife to wear the full Islamic veil.The man, whose current nationality was not given, needed citizenship to settle in the country with his French wife.But Immigration Minister Eric Besson said this was being refused because he was depriving his wife of the liberty to come and go with her face uncovered.Last week, a parliamentary committee proposed a partial ban on full veils. It also recommended that anyone showing visible signs of radical religious practice be refused residence permits and citizenship.
