Bible Question: What does the Bilve teach about women and wearing pants/trousers? |
Bible Answer: Dear Nomthandazo, Some believers have used the following verse to encourage women to avoid wearing pants. "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God." (Deuteronomy 22:5 ESV) However, I believe the real intent of this passage is clear; i.e., it is talking about "cross dressers." There are pants that are made for women, just as their are pants that are made for men. I would be very uncomfortable asserting that pants in and of themselves are improper clothing for women.
