You say people should not look at. There is gemorah Tanis 24a with a story. Someone had a pretty daughter, and one day noticed a boy peeking thru the fence. He asked what are you doing? He replied I wont merit to marry her, at least let me look at her. The father asked Hashem to kill her and she died, because she was making people look at her. “
OY! SO many problems with this! If this story is true (a big if, IMO), this guy surely gets the Father of the Year Award! A boy was peeking at a girl through the fence, and SHE IS NOW CHAYAV MISA????????? AND – noch di tzie, her own father davened for her death???? PLEASE be careful not to tell this story over to our sonim. It is bad enough to see it in print here.
And Kasha, few people, if any, were executed by the Beis Din/Sanhedrin for serious capital crimes (much less their manner of dress), so please quote the exact source and the actual words of the source.
