Women are not allowed to go anywhere alone (without male escort) not allowed to have driver licenses or real estate, and not allowed to leave their faces uncovered while a guest. Men and women dine in separate rooms when a "family" is invited for a meal.
Unless a woman is the daughter of royalty, she has no protection. Even as royalty, if she dishonors her family, her fate is sealed: she will be beheaded publicly. Period.
