How do you ban someone from making others to wear burkas? All these things happen in the home, no one but the family would know. And like Wes says, it's not just in the household, it's the entire community and it's may not even be explicit coercion but they simply do it because if they don't, they'll face social retaliation and lose their friends. In any case, they were brought up thinking they should wear it.
And the effects of a burka isn't simply publicly identifying yourself as a muslim, the hijab does that, too. But the burka hides your face, making it that much harder to make friends, get jobs, and simply interacting with people. There was even a case where a woman refused to show her face in court unless the entire court only had women in it.
