Yes, it can mean wife. A good, recent book on this subject (I think it deals with the
"woman"/"wife" question you ask) is the following. It critiques other recent works in the
field and seems to be pretty scholarly in its handling of the Greek text. It's been a while
since I've read it, though. I think they make the case that while it "could" mean wife, the
context argues against it.
