There is not a single verse in the Qur’an that states this fact, but there is an authentic Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) whereby he states: “I looked at hellfire and I saw the majority of it to be women.” However, this is one of those Hadiths that get grossly misunderstood and misquoted by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. That’s why, Muslim scholars have clearly explained that the Hadith has nothing derogatory or discriminatory against women because the number of women in the world exceeds the number of men in all cultures and all times. By the way that’s one of the reasons Islam allows polygamy in the first place. Now, if Allah were to select a certain percentage (let’s say 20 percent) of the people who lived from both sexes, then most of them would be women. That’s why, the Hadith should not be taken with any further dimension other than its numerical one.
Good Luck.
