How do Saudi women actually feel about living in Saudi Arabia? |
Travel Info I'm really curious about what the difference is between what we hear on the news and what's actually true. In the West, we can't imagine going out in public fully covered or not being able to work in all of the same jobs as men, but I've heard that the women actually living in Saudi Arabia view things much differently, and some feel that the laws encourage respect. Travel Tips It always depends of the way you were brought up. What sounds strange about Saudi women is just normal life to them and verce versa. And please do not forget that Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country. Means = a dress code exists anyway. In some countries more, in some less. Saudi Arabia is not the only "strict" country. Example: Afghanistan. In Saudi Arabia girls receive a very good education, what is not the case in Afghanistan. I can wonder about many countries and how women/people live there. Not only Saudi Arabia. BTW.: in many West countries women have the same rights like men, but..................... Saudi women feel about living in Saudi Arabia like you feel about living in your home country. Home is home. Take care Source(s): UAE resident Other Travel Tips Mekkah and Madina are the strictest part of Saudi. I know a woman that lives there and she isnt fully covered. She wears traditional islamic dress, she doesnt cover her face. I think in very Muslim countries in Middle East as Turkey,Lebanon,Egypt,UAE,Jorda... and Bahrain are maybe well-treat with woman! But I always knowing in many countries as Iraq,Iran,Afghanistan,Pakistan... Saudi Arabia.They ill-treat with woman as beast,no more no less!The husband could beat his wives,punishments of Sharia law apply for over 9 years-old girls,if she loves who isn't her family' nominated will she might kill by stoning to death or shooting or stab! In Asian Games 2006 in Doha,Qatar;you never see any woman in national team of Saudi Arabia!But I was also suprised when I has seen countries as UAE and maybe Bahrain (I am not sure):a female athletes has leaded the national team and took the national flag! Women are our jewels... (this is from religious aspect ). I believe that most women in Saudi Arabia thank god in their prayers that they were born in Saudi Arabia you may wonder but when you know that the holy mosques in makkah and Medina is near by and they can visit them any time with husband ,father ,brother or son your wonder may erased . your curious about covering the body faced by them by another curious how you go to public showing your body, they believe that others should respect their mind not their body . they work in medicine ,nursing, teachers ,colleges but not in men jobs . they view things not by following their hearts but by looking first to what Islam says about the things that may arise according to the holy Koran and prophet Mohamed peace be upon him says . Islamic law provide big respect to women especially to mother . here some Islamic websites i hope it will gives you a clear picture. http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/mainpage/in... http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/archive/ind... http://www.islam101.com/ http://www.islamtomorrow.com/default.asp... thank you we love it there.. we have drivers, maids, mansions, and everything we want.(masha allah.. allah yzeed wi yebarik) we can't drive(but who want to drive if they have a driver anyways?? right) people think that we cant work or go out without a man,, these are all lies.... i live there and i love it.. i dont know if i can live anywhere in the world.!!! |
