He shudnt be forcing this major issue/decision upon her that grown up women struggle wit. Allow her to grow, then let her decide wat she wants. There's no compulsion in Islam.
She wears the Hijab MashaAllah!: )
The line 'there is no compulsion in religion' is often misused. It means that you cannot force anybody to convert to Islam, not that you cannot force Muslims to abide by Muslim Shariah.
It is a parent's responsibility to ensure that their children become practicing sharia abiding muslims. There is hadith to the effect that if your 10 year-old children refuse to pray salaat, then you should beat them to force them to comply.
This major issue/decision is one of the rules of our religion, that every post-puberty teenager or adult is supposed to comply with. Many adult muslims struggle with salaat, but that is no reason that children should not be forced to offer it. And the same applies to hijaab/niqab.
Many girls are Islamically adult by 10 years old. They are required to do hijaab under the sharia rulings.
