Canon 70

On the prohibition of preaching to women during the Liturgy.
Yes, women will not be allowed to speak during the Divine Liturgy, but, according to the word of St. Paul, let them be silent, for they are not allowed to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law says. If they want to learn something, let them ask their husbands about it at home (1 Cor. 14:34-35).
Greek original
Μὴ ἐξέστω ταῖς γυναιξὶν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τῆς θείας λειτουργίας λαλεῖν· ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν φωνὴν Παύλου τοῦ Ἀποστόλου, σιγάτωσαν· οὐ γὰρ ἐπιτέτραπται αὐταῖς λαλεῖν, ἀλλ᾿ ὑποτάττεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ ὁ νόμος λέγει· εἰ δέ τι μαθεῖν θέλουσιν, ἐν οἴκῳ τοὺς ἰδίους ἄνδρας ἐπερωτάτωσαν.
