France's former minister for families, Nadine Morano, has sparked a political debate after posting an image of a veiled woman sitting on a French beach and saying, 'It's a French woman's duty to wear a bikini,' as translated by The Independent.
Morano, 51, complained on Facebook that she had seen a Muslim woman sitting on an unamed French beach over the weekend, wearing a headscarf, long-sleeved tunic and trousers while the man with her, thought to be her husband, bathed in the sea.
On Monday, she published a picture of the woman alongside a magazine cover featuring 1950s and 1960s sex symbol Brigitte Bardot in a bikini.
Originally in French and translated by The Independent, Morano wrote: &quot;When you choose to come to a country of secular laws like France, you have an obligation to respect our culture and the liberty of women. Or you go somewhere else.&quot;
