– at least by the women, whether they are divorced or not. It is a small step, but it is a step in the right direction, she says.
even Though women now know if they are divorced, so it does not mean that they have the right to alimony or custody of their children.
the Regulations are part of the Saudi Arab government’s social and economic reform, which goes under the name of Vision 2030, which has given women the right to re-take the driver’s license.
despite there are still many things that saudi arabian women still cannot do without permission from a male guardian, who usually is either their husband, father, brother or son.
They can not apply for a passport, travel abroad, get married, open a bank account, start a business or leave the prison without asking their guardian for permission first.
