The point is though does she really want to wear it or is it forced indoctrination from the men in her family?

Yeah exactly and what happens if she chooses not to wear it?

And can she even make that choice? Is there any alternative she can choose?

Well, you will never know enough to say for certain to ban it completely. What about the people who choose to?

The Muslims I've grown up with haven't felt pressured to cover their head at any stage. Most haven't even put a headscarf on yet until their late 20s or so if that. Everyone is different.
