Is It Lawful For Women To Speak In The Church?
1 Clem. 1:3
For ye did all things without respect of persons, and ye walked after the ordinances of Alahayim, submitting yourselves to your rulers and rendering to the older men among you the honor which is their due. On the young too ye enjoined modest and seemly thoughts: and the women ye charged to perform all their duties in a blameless and seemly and pure conscience, cherishing their own husbands, as is meet; and ye taught them to keep in the rule of obedience, and to manage the affairs of their household in seemliness, with all discretion.

Let us find out what "the rule of obedience" in the church that was taught is for the women:
1Co 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.
-
In part, "the rule of obedience" for the women is to keep silence in the churches. Not only does it professes their obedience unto Yache by doing what He commanded, it's also a manifestation of the moderation of their tongue to perform this good work.
1 Clem. 21:6-7
……. Let us guide our women toward that which is good: 7 let them show forth their lovely disposition of purity; let them prove their sincere affection of gentleness; let them make manifest the moderation of their tongue through their silence; let them show their love, not in factious preferences but without partiality towards all them that fear Alahayim, in holiness…
-
It is of great price in the sight of Alahayim to perform this command showing moderation by being of a meek and quiet spirit:
1Pe 3:4
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price.
Married Women with Believing Husbands
1Co 14:35
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
-
If a married woman wants to learn anything, she ought to ask her husband at home outside of the church setting.
1Co 14:37
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
-
These are the commandments of the Lord for a married woman to abide in the rule of obedience and uphold the faith in the churches.
​
Unmarried Women or Women with an Unbelieving Head of Household
1 Timothy 2:1-12
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
-
Women, whether married or not are to abide under the rule of obedience to be in silence not usurping authority over the man and learning in silence with all subjection in the churches. If a woman doesn't have a husband or father in the faith, she may ask the ministers of the church outside of the church setting any questions they may have for her learning to uphold the law as the ministers are given for the edifying of the body.
1Co 12:27-28
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And Alahayim hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Eph 4:11-12
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
-
In the church, these ministers are for the edifying of the body. These men are ordained of Alahayim to minister to us for good:
Rom 13:1-5
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of Alahayim: the powers that be are ordained of Alahayim. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of Alahayim: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of Alahayim to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of Alahayim, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake​.
​
-
So for unmarried women/unmarried women with no father in the faith or women with unbelieving husbands, they are to learn in silence in the churches so as to maintain obedience. When their questions arise, they may ask the ministers of Alahayim outside of the church setting as these men are in the church for edifying the body.
