Oh yes, this might surprise you and some of you might even find it ridiculous but this is actually a fact! Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to go out-out or travel anywhere in the world without having the company of a male relative or a husband or what they call it there a ‘’ Mahram’’.

This also means that women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to do anything in their lives without the approval and permission of the Mahram, this also includes travel, marriage, and even, education!

What’s more surprising is that the majority of women really enjoy the male supremacy and have no riots against this! Of course, there are some women who are quite rebellious and refuse these restrictions but they find it hard to speak out and change the miserable reality of their society!
