emma royd Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Yes, but Saudi Arabia is generally an OK sort of place. You have to be a bit tolerant of things like this and see the bigger picture. It's only women that have a problem after all. Once you get past the religious intolerance and disregard for women's rights they are pretty Ok in most respects other than human rights.

Qualtrough Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 A move toward redressing the supposed lack of women's status is being redressed, though, apparently, a husband who accused his wife of being unchaste before they married is punished for impugning her honour:- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2531244/Saudi-court-sentences-husband-20-lashes-accusing-new-wife-not-virgin-father.html it's an old-fashioned punishment, of 20 lashes, but at least the verdict is in the wife's favour! ...and further more, a member of the royal family is facing the death penalty for murder, after a senor royal has insisted that there be no fear of favour in dispensing justice:- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2531065/Saudi-prince-facing-execution-murder-senior-royalty-insisted-no-difference-rich-poor.html Supposed lack of women's status?

Nagel Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I don't get why people don't like Saudi Arabia. Have any of you actually been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
