Allah (swt) says in the Quran “O mankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you might get to know one another. Surely the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is he who is the most righteous. Allah is All-Knowledgeable, All-Aware.” [Quran - Chapter: 49, Verse: 13]
Allah (swt) says in the Quran “But the one who does righteous deeds, whether a male or a female - provided he or she is a believer - shall enter paradise and will not be harmed a speck.” [Quran - Chapter:4, Verse: 124]
Allah (swt) says in the Quran “… And women will have a share in what their parents and their near relatives leave: whether it be a little or much, they shall be legally entitled to their shares.” [Quran - Chapter:4, Verse: 7]

He hides himself from his people because of the bad news he has heard, asking himself whether he should retain her with disgrace or bury her in the dust. Beware! Evil is the Judgment they make about Allah.” [Quran - Chapter:16, Verse: 58-59]
The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said “Whoever has a daughter and does not burry her alive, does not insult her and does not favor his son over her Allah will enter him into Paradise.” (Ahmad)
The Social Aspect As a wife Marriage in Islam is based on mutual peace, love and compassion

Allah (swt) says in the Quran “O believers! It is not lawful for you consider women as a part of your inheritance and retain them against their will in order that you may force them to give up a part of the dowry you have given them, unless they are guilty of proven fornication. Treat them with kindness even if you dislike them; it is quite possible that you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good.” [Quran - Chapter:4, Verse: 19]
The Social Aspect As a mother
Allah (swt) says in the Quran “We have enjoined man concerning his parents - his mother carries him in her womb while suffering weakness upon weakness and then weans him for two years - That’s why We commanded him: "Give thanks to Me and to your parents, and keep in mind that, to Me is your final goal.” [Quran - Chapter:31, Verse: 14]

Advantages of Hijab People generally respect women with hijab and try to help them whenever they ask You can protect yourself from unnecessary attention from males, especially when going for shopping or in crowded areas Bad guys usually don't try to tease you Cosmetically, hijab protects our skin and hair from side effects of sun exposure, so better skin, better hair, no need to spend extra money on sun blocks and hair conditioners Some times we just keep our self from doing something wrong (despite the strong urge to do) just because it will not match our appearance. Our Iman strengthens as people expect us to be more religious than normal girls who don't wear hijab, so it causes stimulus to keep us on right track As we know that our whole body plus face and hair are covered so we don't spend too much time on them before going somewhere. MORE TIME SAVED!!! As you wear hijab so you have to dress modestly and if you cover yourself with abaya or gown, then less money and time spent on designing and buying of your clothes. MONEY SAVED!!! Girls will become less conscious of there appearance and physique in co-gatherings, so it also promotes confidence in personality
