Women are counterpart of men, so women is equal to men in everything, such as being assigned concerning creeds, performing the ritual dealing with others and having good conducts. Also, she is equal to man in reward and the punishment, and she is equal to him in being honoured. This point explains why the Prophet, peace be upon him, said in Hijjatul Wida' Khutbah:   

(Behold! I order you to treat women well, for they are but like captives with you... Have I not delivered the Message? O Allah bear witness, I have.")

The Prophet, peace be upon, continued his Khutbah saying: 

(Let the people keep quiet and listen. Then he said (addressing the people), "Do not (become infidels) revert to disbelief after me by striking the necks of one another (killing each other).)

The Prophet, peace be upon him, went on saying: 

(Verily, Shaytan has lost hope of being worshipped in your land. However, he is pleased to be obeyed in other than that from your despicable deeds. So, beware! O mankind! Verily, I have left behind over you that which if you hold fast to it you will never go astray: the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, peace be upon him.)

Then, the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:  

("You will be asked about me. What will you say?" They said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed (the Message), fulfilled (your duty) and offered sincere advice." He gestured with his forefinger towards the sky and then towards the people, (and said): "O Allah, bear witness, O Allah bear witness, O Allah bear witness.)
