Did you know that Saudi woman needs a man's approval for like everything? To work, to rent a flat, to get medical treatment. What is really sad is that even if she is widowed sometimes HER SON is asked for permission. There is a protest going on right now to get them to be able to be their own guardians after a certain age. I am very proud of these woman for fighting for their rights. I hope I get to read another article at a later date saying some kind of law was passed to let them have their own rights.
