Topic Chapter 6:4 - 6:7
Any woman above 12 years old is obligated to act in a modest way, through her dressing and acting. A modest way of dressing is clothes that cover the whole torso until the collarbone, the legs until the knees and the arms until the elbow. It is proper that a married woman cover her hair when outside her house or in the presence of men other than her husband. (But not a obligation.) A man should not intentzly gaze at the form of a woman in a lustful way. As it is written in Job 31:1
"I have made a covenant with my eyes not to look upon a virgin".
For a woman and a man it is forbidden to be involved in any matter that is intended to cause sin and lust, or that is likely to lead to this. It is therefore forbidden to participate in mixed dancing etc. It is likewise forbidden to watch lewd movies, or to read publications or view internet sites which can arouse a man's lustful thoughts.
