Veil

There is an interesting Hindi movie: “Lapatha Ladies.” In some parts of India, women have to wear a veil, almost throughout the day. During the marriage season, a few couples were married and were travelling by train to their destinations. All the brides were veiled in a red colour shawl. The train was crowded. The brides and bridegrooms slept. One bridegroom wakes up in the middle of the night and notices the train has reached the destination where he and his newly married wife should alight. In the dark, he woke up one of the brides, got down from the train, and the train left. When he reached his home, when the veil was removed, he discovered it was not his wife, but some other woman.
Purpose: In many cultures, women are oppressed. They are compelled to wear the veil, especially before men, even in homes and in public places. Men who lack self-control do not trust other women. Hence, in the name of culture, they control women. In some cultures, the bride is veiled, and when the religious priest declares that they are husband and wife, the veil is removed by the husband.
Veil and deception: Laban used the veil to deceive Jacob. Instead of giving his daughter Rachael in marriage, he substituted her with his elder daughter Leah. Jacob had agreed and worked for seven years to marry Rachael. However, Jacob was deceived; later, Jacob married Rachael also. (Genesis 29: 23-25)
Moses and the veil: When Moses descended after meeting God, his face was radiant. He had to wear the veil when he came to meet the people, but removed it when he entered God’s presence. (Exodus 34:29-35)
Veil of misunderstanding: Paul writes that, like the physical veil, there is a veil in the hearts of people of Israel, so that they do not understand when the Law is read. (II Corinthians 3:15-16)
Veil torn: The veil that prevented anyone except the Chief Priest in the Temple was torn from top to bottom when Jesus was crucified, paving a New Way in Christ. (Matthew 27:51)
Do I have a veil of misunderstanding or spiritual blindness?
