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,
