Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,
Women's rights in Saudi Arabia have been limited in comparison to the rights of women in many of its neighboring countries. This was due to Saudi Arabia's wahabi interpretation of sharia law. So, Women were forbidden from voting in all elections or being elected to any political office. Also, due to guardianship and divorce laws, many women were not previously aware when their husbands divorced them. This often created confusion and even led to homelessness. Girls and women did not have rights of travelling, conducting official business, or undergoing certain medical procedures without permission from their male guardians.
Regards.
