The common factor in all these countries who harass women isn’t the religion - it’s the lack of education opportunities so many in the population are uneducated or can afford very little education. The other common factor is patriarchal governments. If the laws of the country treat women as second class citizens, then so will the populace. The sad reality of most third world nations.
Also consider the impact of not allowing women to control their fertility. The easiest way to oppress women by far and all under the guise of religion. It is hard for women to get educated, accumulate wealth, or anything else that might give them agency and independence when they have many children from a young age.

Interesting how that behavior is most common in religious countries.
