Why it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry non-Muslims? and what is the wisdom behind it?

It was stated that a Muslim man would not hurt his wife who belongs to the people of the book, whether in herself (physically) or in her religion, because he believes in all the prophets and the messengers of Allah and because the ethics of Islam prevent him from mistreating her. Whereas, it is doubtful that a non-Muslim would not hurt his Muslim wife in her beliefs or in her worships because he does not believe in the message of Islam and because his religion would not deter him from that.
It was also stated that women are generally weaker than men and they are more susceptible to temptation. So if a Muslim woman is married to a non-Muslim man, her husband may lure her away from Islam toward his religion.
It was also stated that Islam requires that the leadership in the family must be for man and that the law of Islam surpasses all laws.
My opinion is that fulfilling this Islamic requirement is an act of worship and does not need to be justified on any basis and all the justifications stated above are matters of opinion.
