Let's look at it this way:

How do you know that the girls under 18, especially very young girls, are wearing hijabs out of CHOICE? I don't think an 8 year old can tell her parents that she doesn't want to wear one because she just plain doesn't want to all the time. If her parents say that all women in the family must wear a hijab, then she probably has to wear it until she's out of the house. I know that I wasn't allowed to quit piano when I was 8. My grandmother picked out my clothes every morning until I was 10! And the clothes she picked were awful, because she wouldn't let me wear skirts and dresses to school except for picture day, days when the school went to Mass, and Remembrance Day and Thinking Day, when I wore my Brownie or Girl Guide uniform.
