The woman has a central role in any society. The main role of women could never be denied in ancient cultures. In ancient times, women did not get the status she has today, but religion has played a major role in the current situation and freedom of women. The main religions of the world; Christianity and Islam also speak about women, but there is some difference in the status of women in both. The Quran uplifts the status, but the Bible degrades the status. Such as Eve was found guilty of eating the fruit of the forbidden tree and women were also punished for the sin of Eve till the Day of Judgment. There are other discriminations like women are not given the right to be educated, widows are not allowed to remarry. She also does not have the right to get an inheritance from her parents. On the other hand, the Quran gives her the right of education, inheritance, equality, and pity.
