Saudi women allowed to live alone without permission from male guardian [View all]
Sort of good news, but..........
From article:
Saudi Arabia has officially allowed single, divorced or widowed women to live independently in a house without permission from father or any other male guardian, the Makkah newspaper reported.
The landmark rule gives Saudi women the freedom to stay on their own in a separate accommodation without seeking approval from their male guardians.
The Kingdom recently introduced a legal amendment allowing an adult and rational woman to live by herself in a separate house without permission from her father or male guardianship.
Judicial authorities scrapped Paragraph B under article No. 169 of the “Law of Procedure before Sharia Courts” which states that an adult single, divorced, or widowed woman shall be handed over to her male guardian.
