I have a question about the idea of covering hair:

Why is there a difference between a married and single woman? By every other erva, it either is or isn’t and doesn’t matter what the woman’s marital status is.

I read in a Jewish source (I don’t remember where, but it might

have been one of Gila Manolson’s books) that a woman becomes more aware of herself as a woman with marriage, and her hair reflects this, and it becomes more attractive to men as a result.
