This is not an instruction to men not to permit women to speak in church. This is for husbands to guide and teach their wives. This verse deals with confusion and order. Women, simply because they are women, are not to submit to men, simply because they are men. This is not, and never was, about the submission of women to men, but of wives to husbands.
Wives are to learn the Scriptures but to ask questions at home.
Their husbands are to give them the appropriate answers at that time. In religion, women could fulfill the role of a prophetess. Women held no official position within the sanctuary, but in the ancient Near East, priests and priestesses were common. There are thirteen prophetesses mentioned in Scriptures. Women were leaders of the church of Philippi.
