While 610 C.E. may be a bellweather in certain parts of the world, it has no relevance to the status of women in Europe. Women in the Middle Ages had few rights and privileges. They were not required to consent on marriages. In many cases they did not have rights to open a court case, although their testimony was admissible. They had almost no domestic protections from spousal abuse. They had no freedom of mobility and could not become a part of the knighthood (even if they were nobility). Some widowed women were allowed to buy and sell limited amounts of property, but for the most part they were unable to do so.

Most of the other freedoms that women lacked at this point were also lacked by men, such as: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Searches and Seizures, Political Rights and Voting, Protection from Torture, etc.

Women's rights in Europe would not be substantially improved until the 1600s and 1700s.

What is the largest religion in the Middle Ages?

Christianity was the dominant religion in Europe during the middle ages, but was certainly not the only religion practiced in Europe, nor was Christianity a homogeneous body during the period. Christianity divided into the Western and Eastern Churches in the schism of 1054. There were also Muslims, Jews, and Pagans in Europe during the middle ages. Muslims had conquered the Iberian peninsula during the early 8th century and were not fully expelled by Christians until the end of the 15th century. Parts of Northern and Eastern Europe remained pagan until the 13th century. There were Jewish populations at various locations all throughout the middle ages as well, although they were always minority groups living within other societies.

Describe the orgins of Christianity and its spread within the roman empire?

Christianity has its origins in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. His life and teachings modeled how his disciples would carry on the faith. At the time however, Christianity was illegal in the Roman Empire. As a result, many early Christians were persecuted for their beliefs. However, in 313 CE, Constantine and Licinius signed the Edict of Milan, legalizing Christianity. After that, it was adopted as the official Roman religion.
