Is it true that a Saudi Arabian woman can get a divorce if her hubby doesn't!


Question: Wrong ! Read this:

According to the U.S. Department of State report on Saudi Arabia, the Mutaween (religious police!)reportedly arrest women for such unlawful activities as riding in a taxi with a man who is not their relative, appearing with their heads uncovered in shopping malls, and eating in restaurants with males who are not their relatives. In such cases, prisoners can be held for days, sometimes weeks. Women cannot walk alone, even in their own neighborhoods, without fear of being stopped, beaten or accused of prostitution.

Sadly, there is more. Saudi women have significantly fewer rights in the eyes of the law than men—and are treated as less than second-class citizens. For example, daughters receive half the inheritance awarded to their brothers. And in court, the testimony of one man equals that of two women. In order for a woman’s interests to be represented in court proceedings such as divorce and family law cases, male relatives must be appointed to speak on her behalf. And while women must demonstrate legally specified grounds for divorce, men may divorce without giving cause.

Women cannot even be admitted to a hospital for medical treatment without the consent of a male relative. Although women make up approximately 5 percent of the formal work force and own about 20 percent of the businesses, they must appoint a male relative to represent them in financial transactions.

Well they ain't allowed to drive so i guess that could be the case.

I really don't know because they are not allowed to do anything without the husband permission.

Lack of caffeine as "grounds" for divorce.

She'll get 20 lashes if she doesn't give her husband coffee more likely. (or worse)

Women suffer all over the world. I don't know all the specifics about UAE laws, but it wouldn't be surprising..........

Last year in Italy alone there were 21,000 cases of rape, abuse etc. against women. These were only the reported cases. Twenty five years ago in Italy "divorce" was illegal, so women had to stay with abusive husbands etc. (thanks to The Church)
