Lotr92: We Yidden have something called Halacha. And both the Shulchan Aruch and Rambam (as well as the Gemorah and any other psak Halacha that discusses it) clearly rules l’Halacha to that women should not leave their home more than minimally necessary.
If you need the maare mekomos from Shulchan Aruch or Rambam, kindly ask and they’ll be happily supplied.
Phil, I’m not suggesting anything other than what Halacha clearly delineates. There may be a heter in certain circumstances, such as which you describe. But even so the heter is only to the extent absolutely necessary, and no more.
