Earlier it was mentioned that, rules being harsher for women in traditionally patriarchal religions, it would naturally make them want to leave more.
Might be the case, there's very little data on this for obvious reasons (no religion wants studies talking to people about how likely they are to leave). Naturally it can have the opposite effect too in that, perhaps more barriers are put up in front of women to prevent them from leaving. Shaming and ostracising women for leaving a religion, kicking them out of the house in a society where they are given less rights than cars (Saudi, in fact most of the islamic world). It all adds up.
Making a woman reliant on a man is the best ball and chain religions and society ever came up with. The sexual revolution and the rejection of Christian moral pontificating, equally, did more for women emancipation than any religious institution ever did.
