Shame on you. That's a good law. Because of this Saudia Arabia has lowest rape case while India has highest even that every 15 min women are raped in India. laws are made for security of People. Not for some people like yourself's pleasure. Plz bro write rape on wiki and see total rape cases in various countries. USA has 94000 rape cases every year and Almost All Muslim Countries has less 200 rape per year.
YES Guardianship to live like humans not like pets , as in other societies other than one which is true and ever lasting and its rules are experimentally proven in protecting and in giving respect to women.
I agree. And only children need guardianship not grown women. But I do think women who want to wear hijab and practise and express their religion should be allowed to do so without facing rasism from non muslim people. I have heard stories of people ripping off womens hijab in bublic and i have seen emotional breakdown and anxiety when talking about it. It feels like someone would rip off your shirt in bublic. And the emotional breakdown wasnt because of the fear of judgement from god. It was because they feel naked without it and they choose to wear it and someone just deeply disrespected their right to their own body and their religion. Many muslim parents specially in 1st world countries dont forse hijab on their daughters and tell them only if/when they are ready. And you are allowed to change your mind and take it off. That being said, i feel like it islam should become more modern and if there is opression within that spesific community (meaning for example within family, there is not always that there are many modern muslim families) that should stop.
Yet we supposed to except it’s apart of the culture. That’s like going back in time and saying African slavery in the America’s was culturally justified.

With the exception of needing permission to marry, as of 2021 these other restrictions have been lifted. In regards to the right to marry, if they do not receive permission to marry, they can challenge that decision in court, and would usually win. Things have changed a lot since 2018.

Yeah yeah make sense you would rather live in a country where women are very sexualized yet we get the shit that always says that women don't have any rights in arab countries that is hypocritical
It's really difficult to imagine such a life. I don't know how are women living there. Those who are living it, it's only because they don't know the other way to live. Once we taste freedom it's not possible to go back to restrictions. It will be so suffocating.

@@mohammedjuma1703 Your comment is enough for me to understand that you have no idea of what freedom is! Is not about wearing this or that or getting paid for work or getting paid without work. Freedom is about choice to wear whatever one wants be it burkha or bikini and choice to work or not work irrespective of any money. Women in Saudi don't have choice. By your argument of Saudi women getting paid without working, their lives may be luxurious but it's not free. I and most women would choose freedom over luxury any day.
Truuuue, im from saudi arabia, and I can tell u that Women were forbidden to do many things, including wearing perfume because it charms men! This is wrong, and also not to wear any clothes I want, not to play sports, not to sing, and many things, i really hate my country

You are a big liar. The people do not listen to the royal rulings and follow the pre-Islamic Quranic approach. Unfortunately, these customs cannot be eradicated.
To all people saying that this is not their business: it is their business, their job is to research, report, publish and spread information about various issues and topics from all over the world, this is why news media was created. They are not interfering or changing in the women's lives, they are just reporting about women's rights in Saudi Arabia. Besides, couldn't the same argument apply to you, that it's none of your concern on what topic BBC chooses to cover?
last bro Daniel Murphy said the BBC, not this video but I'm sure even this video is biased in some way, like the lady taking a stance saying it is still a man's world and sarcasticly blowing the party whistle. That is bias, whether you agree with that or not.
Absolute Buzzcocks It is a fact? Facts cannot be biased, they are facts. How they are presented can be biased, sure. But nobody can deny that the women (and human) rights in Saudi Arabia (and much of the comparitavely underdeveloped Middle East) are abysmal.
Thank u so much! We Saudi woman suffer so much here, especially the ones who have radical ignorant male guardian, its really a hard and unfortunate situation. I bet u can't even imagine how hard it is
Rule 1. yes they can Rule 2. yes they can Rule 3. Islamic marriages require father or male guardian's permission in case of marriage, in the case of divorce, yes they can Rule 4. yes they can Rule 5. men and women are required to wear modest, what is illegal for men is also illegal for women (wearing shorts for example), and hijab is not compulsory. I don't know from you get your news but I live in saudi arabia and i know the rules.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH BBC!!!! we need to be heard when our voices aren’t reaching the world! only when they ban male guardianship which is a requirement for us to work travel and do other legal things, we’ll be free !!!! I faced a horrible humiliating incident when I was traveling and my dad forgot to sign for me to l ave the country I was terrified of the security dude and the airport and started imagining other girls who are taken advantage of because of their potentially horrible male guardian

She has to consult her parents before her marriage it's an Islamic thing. No this doesn't include a 5 year old boy where tf did you get that it has to be an elder and directly related to the women if the parents are not alive 1:16 this also isn't true if you have a friend from the other gender for example and you want to study together it is totally fine to go out and no you may not get arrested for it you may get warned by the religious police as they lost the right to arrest. 1:35 all they have to do is cover their arms and legs even hijab is not required (the head scarf). BCC please get your facts straight Saudi women are just happy the way they are even if they cant walk in public naked.
For proof on what I am saying check out the youtuber: Very Mary Videos she lives in Saudi Arabia and hangs out with other people just fine. This rather proves the woman doing this video is absurd and doesn't have any idea what she is saying.
They make the slightest changes to make the women or outsiders looking in feel as though they are not as strict. However the main aim is to prevent the women from running away or have any kind of freedom by giving them too much access to resources on their own that will allow them to do so. Because in truth many of the women are in abusive households and that's the men's way ay of maintaining control.
That’s sick because they are treating women like permanent children ugh I met a guy he’s from Saudi Arabia and he told me he wants me to be his wife and live there with him. Moving there would be a big sacrifice

I was born and raised in KSA for about 17 years. I feel it’s a safe place for women. We can practice Islam here safely unlike other countries who puts ban on religious practices and call themselves a secular country. KSA follows rules based on the teachings of Islam and in Islam women have many rights. It’s just that the outsiders interpret it wrong and instead of reading the Quran, just blindly listen to the media and get a very very wrong idea about Islam.
بغض النظر عن كل هذا تبقى المرأة السعودية معززة مكرمة عملها هو فقط الحمل والولادة لان التربية ستكون على الخادمة و كل اعمال المنزل و ليس لديها وظيفة لان زوجها و اخوانها و اباها هم الذين سيصرفون عليها و لديها سائق خاص ياتي بها لاي مكان تريده والقائمة تطول و تطول فهذا هو تعريف المرأة في المملكة العربية السعودية

And I don’t have to justify my beliefs to anyone who is gullible enough to base their opinions on some article they watched on the news.
Regarding opening a bank account... I'm working in saudi arabia and I opened my own bank account under my name... Though there are designated bank outlets where women can do this, otherwise, if for other transactions, you can go anywhere

@@mohammedjuma1703 Your comment is enough for me to understand that you have no idea of what freedom is! Is not about wearing this or that or getting paid for work or getting paid without work.

Women in Saudi don't have choice.
By your argument of Saudi women getting paid without working, their lives may be luxurious but it's not free.
I and most women would choose freedom over luxury any day.
As a Muslim I feel extremely bad for the Saudi Arabian women this isn't what Islam taught. A woman shouldn't be restricted like that at all.

To all people saying that this is not their business: it is their business, their job is to research, report, publish and spread information about various issues and topics from all over the world, this is why news media was created. They are not interfering or changing in the women's lives, they are just reporting about women's rights in Saudi Arabia. Besides, couldn't the same argument apply to you, that it's none of your concern on what topic BBC chooses to cover?
They aren't reporting here, they're criticizing!!

Absolute Buzzcocks It is a fact? Facts cannot be biased, they are facts. How they are presented can be biased, sure. But nobody can deny that the women (and human) rights in Saudi Arabia (and much of the comparitavely underdeveloped Middle East) are abysmal.

As an OLDER brother I find this down right disgraceful!
Thank u so much! We Saudi woman suffer so much here, especially the ones who have radical ignorant male guardian, its really a hard and unfortunate situation. I bet u can't even imagine how hard it is
How about now?
Rule 1. yes they can
Rule 2. yes they can
Rule 3. Islamic marriages require father or male guardian's permission in case of marriage, in the case of divorce, yes they can
Rule 4. yes they can
Rule 5. men and women are required to wear modest, what is illegal for men is also illegal for women (wearing shorts for example), and hijab is not compulsory.
I don't know from you get your news but I live in saudi arabia and i know the rules.
I still live in Saudi (an expat) (1999-present) and me or my mom never ever needed a letter of permission!
@Tender Agression and your words are terrible to comment
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH BBC!!!! we need to be heard when our voices aren’t reaching the world! only when they ban male guardianship which is a requirement for us to work travel and do other legal things, we’ll be free !!!!

0:08 they are Afghan women not saudi
They make the slightest changes to make the women or outsiders looking in feel as though they are not as strict. However the main aim is to prevent the women from running away or have any kind of freedom by giving them too much access to resources on their own that will allow them to do so. Because in truth many of the women are in abusive households and that's the men's way ay of maintaining control.
In Islam woman and man is the same so don’t call This Islam

We can practice Islam here safely unlike other countries who puts ban on religious practices and call themselves a secular country. KSA follows rules based on the teachings of Islam and in Islam women have many rights. It’s just that the outsiders interpret it wrong and instead of reading the Quran, just blindly listen to the media and get a very very wrong idea about Islam.
