Does Islam consider women deficient in intellect and religion, and does the Quran sanction beating women, or does that reflect the prevailing social thought at the time of the Prophet Muhammad?

The religious texts and modern science have confirmed that the deficiency in a woman's intellect and religious commitment is a reality. The deficiency in her intellect is manifested in the fact that the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man, due to her need for remembrance. The deficiency in her religious commitment is due to her abstaining from prayer and fasting during menstruation. Despite these biological and psychological differences between men and women, Islam has equated them in the fundamental rights and duties. Both adversaries and allies have testified to the greatness of the Quran and the loftiness of its meanings, affirming that it is not the word of humans.
