Hi, Crystal. I am a veiling Muslim woman. Feel free to email me with further questions or more proof.
No, there is no evidence in Quran or Sunnah that she is to be killed for "not doing her duties" or anything like that. Be sure that you recognize that just because someone is a Muslim, they don't always follow the teachings of Islam. Islam is the religion. It is The Quran and Sunnah, not the people. So, whereas there might be some tribal custom somewhere that engages in this, it is not rooted in Islamic text.

The Muslim Woman: Her Status in Islam
by the noble Sheikh Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz (rahimahullah)
The status of the Muslim woman in Islam is very noble and lofty one, and her effect is very great in the life of every Muslim. Indeed, the Muslim woman is the initial teacher in the building of a righteous society, providing she follows the guidance from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet .
Since adherence to the Quran and the Sunnah distances every Muslim - male or female - from being misguided in any matter. The misguidance that the various nations suffer from, and their being deviant, does not come about except by being far away from the path of Allah - the Most High, the Most Perfect - and from what His Prophets and Messengers, may Allah's peace be upon them all, came with. The Prophet said: "I am leaving behind me two matters, you will not go astray as long as you cling to them both, the Book of Allah and my Sunnah." [1]
The great importance of Muslim woman's role - whether as wife, sister or daughter, and the rights that are due to her and the obligations due from her - have been explained in the purified Sunnah.
The secret of her importance lies in the tremendous burden and responsibility that is placed on her, and the difficulties that she has to shoulder - responsibilities and difficulties some, which not even a man bears. This is why from the most important obligation upon a person is to show gratitude to the mother, and kindness and good companionship with her. And in this matter, she is to be given precedence over and above the father. Allah - the most High - says:
"And We have enjoined upon man to be dutiful and good to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness upon weakness and hardship upon hardship, and his weaning is in two years. Show gratitude and thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination." [Soorah Luqmaan 31:14]
Allah - the Most High - said: "And We have enjoined upon man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship, and she brings him forth with hardship. And the bearing and the weaning of him is thirty months." [Soorah al-Ahqaaf 41:15]
A man came to Allah's Messenger and said: O Messenger of Allah! Who from amongst mankind warrants the best companionship from me? He replied: "Your mother." The man asked: Then who? So he replied: "Your mother". The man then asked: Then who? So the Prophet replied again: "Your mother." The man then asked: then who? So he replied: "Then your father." So this necessitates that the mother is given three times the likes of kindness and good treatment then the father. [2]
As regards to the wife, then her status and her effect in making the soul tranquil and serene, has been clearly shown in the noble ayah (verse), in His - the Most High's saying:
"And from amongst His Signs is this: That He created from you wives from amongst yourselves, so that you may find serenity and tranquility in them. And He has put between you love and compassion. Indeed, in this are signs for those who reflect." [Soorah Ar-Rum 30:21]
Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer (d.774H) - rahimahullaah - said, whilst explaining the term mawaddah means love and affection, and ar-rahmah means compassion and piety - "since a man takes the hand of a women either due to love for her, or because of compassion and piety for her, by giving to her a child from himself…" [3]
And the unique stance that the prophet 's wife Khadeejah took, had a huge effect in calming and reassuring Allah's Messenger , when the angel Jibreel - alayhis-salam - first came to him in the cave of Hiraa. So the Prophet returned to his wife Khadeejah with the first Revelation and with this his heart trembling and beating severely, and so he said to her: "Cover me! Cover me!" So they covered him until his fear was over, after which he told Khadeejah - everything that had happened, and said: 'I fear that something may happen to me." So she said to him: "Never! By Allah! Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good ties with relations, you help the poor and the destitute, you serve your guests generously and assist those who have been afflicted with calamities." [4]
And do not forget about Aaishah and her great effect. Since even the great Sahaabah (Companions) use to take knowledge of Hadiths from her, and many of the Sahaabiyaat (female companions) learn the various rulings pertaining to women's issues from her…
And I have no doubt that my mother - may Allah shower His mercy upon her - had a tremendous effect upon me, and has a great excellence over me, in encouraging me to study; and she assists me in it. May Allah greatly increase her reward and reward her with the best of rewards for what she did for me.
And there is no doubt also, the house in which there is kindness, gentleness, love and care, along with the correct Islamic tarbiyah (Education and cultivation) will greatly affect the man. So he will become - if Allah wills - successful in his affairs and in any matter - whether it be seeking knowledge, trading, earning a living, or other than this. So it is Allah Alone that I ask to grant success and to guide us all to that which he loves and is pleased with. And may the prayers of peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad , and upon his Family, his companions and his followers.

There sure are a lot of ignorant people here!
In Islam, the woman's primary purpose is the same as the man's. She is created to worship and do good deeds.
As for duties and lifestyle, those vary by culture. Islam encourages a family structure which is pretty much the same as the family structure which is advised by Christianity - that the man is the head of the household. The major difference between Islam and Christianity is that in Islam there is no implied inferioirity or superiority. Its just a structure to keep things peaceful.
Murder is a crime and a sin, according to every religion that I know of.

This is the best option to get a background check https://tr.im/wl5en
Currently there are a lot of reasons to perform a criminal background check in today's community. These arguments vary from questions over a spouse's fidelity to misgivings regarding a recently hired sitter. There are several surprising figures out now that strengthen these doubts, and in many instances it is better to be safe than sorry. You may not realize it, but there can be quite a lot of people checking up on you. Potential employers top the list. Companies usually conduct background checks on job applicants primarily as a means to verify the credentials that you may have listed on your resume.

I will hopefully see a response on here by a Muslim-woman, preferably.
These type of questions, showing such ignorance, make me to angry, and I may give a hateful answer.
Have you thought of going to the library, or the Net, and studying the subject?

women have TOO MANY rights in Islam and they almost don't have any duty, women don't have any ecenomical responsibility ,it means they CAN go out and work (Khadijeh the first wife of the prophet was one of the greatest ecenomical powers in Mecca),but the women doesn't have to spend it for the family(she is not forced) not only the family but for her self,there is something in Islam that is called nafagheh,it is the money that the husband has to give to his wife to saticfy her and the min of it is as much she got in her fathers house ,in food and clothes and ....every thing,and if the husband doesn't do that the wife can go th the court(in Islamic counties that have Islamic laws !!) and ask for the money or divorce.so she can put the money that she earns in the bank or spend it on what ever she wants.
women don't have to work at home ,they don't have to cook or clean or do anything and if they do they can ask for money from their husband for doing that(ofcourse I know no one that does that but that is the law),if a man hurts her wife,they have to give diyeh( it is some money that the amount of it depens on what the hurm is and it goes for every one)
Mohamed has many words on how to treat your wives ,one of them "never hurt your wives even by words"
sorry for the sp mistakes.

She is treated like a mindless animal,or worse. And yes she will be shot down in the street like a common criminal if she dares to leave her home without covering her face.She is not allowed to have an education,or medical treatment and is totally the property of the pig she married.Still thinking of converting?
