I know I haven’t posted the quote which I said I would post – I was otherwise engaged today, but hopefully I will get around to it soon.
Before I get around to that though, I just want to respond to Lior:
First of all, I did not mean to imply that the principle of kol kevudah has, or should be, abrogated. I was specifically addressing the psak about a woman leaving her house, as you will see when I post the quote.
About the actual citation, I don’t think that it is correct to say that the Shulchan Aruch and Rema ruled on it halacha l’ma’aseh. The Shulchan Aruch didn’t mention it at all, and in the old fashioned printings, the relevant line is in parentheses with no introductory “???” which means that it was not necessarily written by the Rema. I was unable to access the “tzuras hadaf” edition which corrected parenthetical remarks, so I am speculating. If anyone does have that edition, you can check if they attribute this remark to the Rema or not. Regardless of who the author of the statement is, it is interesting to note that he changed the statement from how the Rambam and the Tur said it, specifically by leaving out the part about once or twice per month.
Also – not that this makes a difference for this dicussion – I would agree with Sam here. While people do refer to many different works colloquially as “Torah” I don’t think people use the phrase “pasuk in the Torah” to refer to anything outside of the Five Books of Moses.
