Both Equal Responsible
The Quran explicitly addresses men and women without discrimination:
“Verily, for all men and women who have submitted themselves to God, and all
believing men and believing women, and all truly devout men and truly devout
women who are patient in adversity, and all men and women who humble
themselves (before God), and all men and women who give in charity, and all
self-denying men and women who are mindful of their chastity, and all men and
women who remember God unceasingly: for all of them has God readied
forgiveness of sins and a mighty reward.” (33:35)
Islam does not consider women a mere shadow or an extension of a man, always
following him. She has her full individual freedom and responsibility to the belief
in the message of God and in practicing its obligations:

“Now whenever God and his Apostle have decided a matter, it is not for a
believing man or a believing woman except to obey in so far they themselves are
concerned.” (33:36)
“ And thus does their Lord answer their prayer: I shall not lose sight of the work
of any of you who works (in My way) be it man or women: You are members,
one of another.” (3:195)
