Commentary on 1 Corinthians 14:35

Theological / Devotional

Ask their husbands. Such a procedure would prevent unseemly interruptions in the service of worship and avoid the confusion attendant on such interruptions.

Shame. This was true because both Greek and Jewish custom dictated that women should be kept in the background in public affairs. Violation of this custom would be looked upon as disgraceful and would bring reproach upon the church.
