It is common among protestant churches and even congregational groups to ordain women elders and preachers. It is becoming mainstream and even in Catholic churches they expand the role of women in assemblies more and more. It is like they are seeking more demographic market share over simply doing God's will. God said through Paul
1 Corinthians 14:34
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
Many have found creative ways around this and many diverse explanations but none actually make sense enough to change my understanding, they are dire attempts. There are two key Greek words here that make these explanations impossible in my view.
not permitted - in english this sounds like a local choice prescribed by the elders in corinth, but in Greek it isn't a local choice but a universal directive. In Greek it is a legal term meaning someone not granted authority. The term permit in English can be used like a permit to drive a car. Women were never granted authority to speak in assemblies. Christ did not commission such a role for women.
Under obedience - this can mean to be under an ordered structure where personal freedom is structured into an orderly command or direction, such as God making the family, etc. Paul demonstrates this through the statement "as also says the law", the law which also had a structure through a male priesthood and family structure. It isn't the exact same law but it is orderly and requires obedience. The Old and New Testament share the story of creation as a structural societal basis. The law did not allow or sanction women to perform all religious duties.
This verse is for the assembly only, women could pray and prophesy outside the assembly as demonstrated in I Corinthians 11:1-7. We see this in the early Gospel where women like Anna, Elizabeth, Mary prophesied and spoke privately. In the Old Testament Deborah prophesied under a tree and spoke privately with men and women. Since it says "the women of you" it isn't for society and could be the prophets wives.
The word women can be translated wives but in this verse it doesn't matter or cause a change in meaning. It isn't authorizing the unmarried to speak. It only points out a truth, the women or wives had no authorization, nor does it unauthorize since these never had authorization. It just points out they had no sanction. It could be dealing with prophets' wives who may have assumed they could act by the authority of their husbands, if so Paul denies any such authority exists.
The women of you were to keep silence in the churches (plural), so they may have been doing this in multiple groups around Corinth. Since he says "all the churches of the saints" he shows it wa
