It is a possible reading of the verse, but the traditional understanding of
a church setting is far more likely. Paul does not have the authority to
forbid a wife to teach her husband. But that is what Paul would be
forbidding in 1 Tim 2:12 according to the above view. There are many other
contextual indicators opposed to the above translation.
