I saw a lady in a burka yesterday.

I saw a lady in a burka (or a niqab) yesterday.
She was walking down the street hand-in-hand with a man.

I told my wife I'd never seen a woman in a burka with a man before.
She pointed out that it was unlikely that I'd seen a woman in a burka without a man !

I realized this was the first time I'd ever seen a woman in a burka in real life *and* the first time I'd seen a woman in a burka with a man, even including in pictures or on TV etc.

All the times I've seen people in burkas (mostly on the bus or subway), they have been alone, or with kids.
