Sûrah Al-Baqarah 2. 230  
‘And women have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable.’

Sûrah 9:71
"And the believers, both men and women - they are friends and protectors of one another: they enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and are constant in prayer, and render the purifying dues, and pay heed unto God and His apostle. It is they upon whom God will bestow His Grace: verily, God is Almighty, Wise."
