A while ago, I watched a documentary called Women of the holy Kingdom and to be honest, it really got me confused.

First of all, I do not think that women should drive. How come, whenever people are asked about everyday life in Saudi Arabia and women's status in Saudi Arabia, they always tell you that women aren't allowed to drive? I do understand that under certain circumstances it might be easier for the woman if she was allowed to drive, but sometimes you just have to list the pros and cons... The way I see it, women don't have to drive.

Secondly, I also believe that asking the husband's permission to leave the house can be a blessing, rather than a restriction. And if women are given the opportunity to stay at home and take care of their children and husbands, isn't that better than going out to work outside of their homes?

Even if women had all the rights Islam gave them and the right to practice their religion, the right to be treated like women, as mothers and wives, when nobody expects them to do a man's job, some women would still not appreciate it.
