At the moment of leaving her father's house, Rebecca was betrothed to Isaac.
When she learned that Isaac went out to meet them, she covered herself with
a vail (veil); that is, she put herself in submission to the one to whom she was
betrothed.

I think the point is there is no command in the old testament for anything about it. Just references to it as though it was an extrabiblical custom that people in the middle east all did.
