Question

What should be done if a married woman without a head covering is at the table during the Passover Seder? Is it permissible to recite the Haggadah and blessings in front of her?

Answer

Shalom Rav

One can close their eyes or turn their face to the side, so as not to be directly opposite her.

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 75, S"K 5
Closing one's eyes helps in this regard, as well as concerning a woman's hair as explained in S"B 2:

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 75, S"K 28
Even just turning one's face without the body is not worse than closing the eyes.
