I suppose the context will still help determine usage.  It looks like
"husbands" are to pray everywhere.  And "wives" are to adorn themselves in
modest apparal, but just in the Husband-wife relationship, not around men in
general.  Wow!  Just wait till I tell that to our ladies class!  All their
husbands are usually at work during class, and since they will not be around,
wellll.......

Feeling just a little barbaric,
