Is there an Old Testament referrence for this scripture?

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved.

(1 Corinthians 11:4-5 - NIV)

    No. This doctrine cannot be found in the Old Testament. Verse 16 partially explains:

    In other words: "This is what all the Christian churches at the current time practice, and that's the reason that you (reading this letter) should also follow this rule."
