If I were a woman in a state/country that had such contempt for my rights and well-being, I'd move elsewhere. Honestly, a state with policies like this does not deserve to have women. I still don't understand why there isn't a steady flow of atheist or less-religious women emigrating from fundamentalist religious regions that suppress women's rights like Saudi Arabia and Texas. If these regions, like China, encountered the serious social problems (serious gender ratio imbalance) of treating women as second class citizens, they might rethink their policies.

Because suppressing women's rights makes it hard for them to do lots of things, including leave (the latter, e.g., by increasing their economic dependence on others, particularly men.)
And because regimes that do this don't do so in isolation, they do so hand-in-hand with a dominant set of cultural values in which people (including women) are indoctrinated from birth which support this suppression as a norm.
