No one can deny that Saudi Arabia is improving today by making many reforms and becoming better than it was in the past and that the woman’s position in society is changing but this doesn’t change the fact that only 17% of women in Saudi Arabia are actually independent and working while the rest choose to stay home and look after their little family.
In the Islamic rules, women are allowed to chase their dreams and work as long as they don’t neglect their children and the responsibility they have towards them. However, in Saudi Arabia, the woman is still required to have her husband’s or guardian’s permission in order to work.
Let’s not forget to mention that building a career in Saudi Arabia is not an easy thing for women. Unfortunately, they are paid less than men and even employers would prefer not to hire them as they will be obliged to spend more money on affording separate offices, toilets, recreational areas and more!
Most Of The Women Do Not Marry For Love
Well, love, relationships, and marriages are one of the hottest topics to discuss in this country. Normally, the girls in Saudi Arabia would marry at a very young age and also would give birth to babies at a young age, which often negatively influence their health and well-being.
We are not saying that love doesn’t exist in Saudi Arabia but we say that most of the marriages are traditional and occur due to a contract between the father of the girl and the future husband. This often happens in rural areas and regions in the country!
They Will Never Answer The Door
If it happens and you were invited to a house in Saudi Arabia, expect to sit in one place, let’s say the guest room and you will definitely not be allowed to visit the house and visit the women in the house. It is totally forbidden as you are considered a stranger and not allowed to see them or talk to them!
