Christian Ladies, Don't Wear Trousers! Says Who?
lady
It is unbelievable to know that some churches (especially the orthodox ones) still condemn the wearing of trousers by ladies. They have so over emphasized on Deuteronomy 22:6. What is this verse really saying about a woman's outfit?
Deuteronomy 22:6 states "A man should not wear a woman's clothes, nor a woman should wear a man's clothes for this is an act of abomination unto the Lord". From this verse, some churches condemn the wearing of Trousers by Ladies. Some Bible Scholars argue that in those days of the law both Men and women wear robes and maybe, tie ropes round their waists, depending on the occasion. Therefore, in terms of style of dressing or fashion, the only difference is the head-gear. Men wrap their heads with a piece of cloth, looking like a Turban fashion (the way the Arabs dress). While the ladies wear a veil or tie scarf. If this is the case, then the emphasis was not really on the fashion. We may logically conclude that the Lord is saying "What the man has worn, the woman should not wear it and vice versa, because it disgusts Him. In fact some study Bible Versions put this verse as "women must not pretend to be men, and men must not pretend to be women. The Lord your God is disgusted with people who do that". So, maybe, the emphasis is not just superficially placed on the clothes alone but as well conduct.
Let's leave theology aside and look at it critically on a contextual point of view. What is a woman's cloth? If you as a Pastor condemn women wearing Trousers because of this verse, then I am as well justified to buy you a lady's suit with its well fitted trousers as a gift, would you appreciate it? Definitely No.! Then why? It is because it is a woman's cloth; simple! We try to help the Bible to be too specific and thereby neglecting the actual sense it is making, though cultures differ in different regions of the world. We still find some churches holding on to this doctrine. What then are we going to say to the Cultural or traditional wears of the Scottish men who wear skirts? Or in the African tradition where men tie wrappers, naturally meant for only women? Our main focus should be decency in dressing. There are some skirts a lady would wear that it would have been better for them to wear a trouser. Decency in dressing which portrays a Christ like appearance irrespective of the fashion or style or outfit should be our focal point. So therefore, a decently dressed lady on a pair of trousers should not be condemned or seen as a stubborn Christian or even as a sinner.
