Summary/Abstract: This article presents religion as one of the factors that significantly affect such spheres of life as female education or career. For each of the described religions, i.e. Judaism, Islam or Christianity, different moment in the developmental process is defined as the age of religious maturity, which involves full responsibility for actions and obligations associated with religious rites. The religious practice in the family life shapes the manner and method according to which the young woman is raised, the priorities according to which she will live in her adult life, and the values to which she will adhere. Basically, the common aspect to all three religions: Judaism, Christianity or Islam is the top choice of religion by the child's parents, which, in most cases, means the transfer of religious tradition cultivated by parents to their children.
