1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 11:5 head uncovered. In Corinth, a married woman who uncovered her head in public would have brought shame to her husband. The action may have suggested sexual availability or implied that she was unmarried. In cultures where head coverings are not a sign of being married, wives could obey this command by wearing some other physical symbol of being married (such as a wedding ring).
