Indeed, if a woman does not keep her head covered, she may as well cut her hair short. But, since to cut her hair short, or shave it off, marks her as one of the shameless women, let her keep her head covered.

Yet she will be happier if she remains as she is-in my opinion, for I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

(If she has done so, let her remain as she is, or else be reconciled to her husband) and also that a man is not to divorce his wife.

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but, if the husband should pass to his rest, the widow is free to marry any one she wishes, provided he is a believer.
