Travel Info Is it true that women in Al Khobar & Dammam, KSA can ride on a man's car even they're not married? Travel Tips Inside Saudi Arabia women are forbidden to drive, a ban made official in 1990 by Fatwa (edict) issued by the Council of Senior Ulama (religious schoolars) The offence of Khilwa (being alone with a male who is not an immediate relative), is punishment for both men and women, but it appears to be more frequently enforced on women. Women in KSA who walk unaccompanied, or are in the company of a man who is neither their husband nor a close relative, are at risk of arrest on suspision of prostitution or other "moral" offences. But anyway it's okay for a woman for have a male "driver". It's a difference if a woman rides with a man or if the man's profession is being a driver. These rules/laws is for the whole Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and also includes Al Khobar & Dammam. Take care. @ABC: what's wrong with a woman and her "driver"????? Hope God and the Angles will not find anything wrong with that. How else is a woman going from point A to point B??? Source(s): UAE resident Other Travel Tips Man and women are not allowed to be alone if they are not officially marred, this is not only the Saudi rule, but it is our Islam instruction. The question is, why should she go with him if they are not marred??? Unless their is something illegal 鈥渢aboo鈥?between them. However, doing the wrong thing is something very easy, if you want to do it, police can鈥檛 watch every man and women, BUT, God Is Watching you, God is always there. His angels watch over you every second of the day. He sees you and knows all what you are doing. Well sweetheart, if u wanna ride, u can contact me any time ;) No, it is a wrong observation. Women cannot ride in a car with a man if they are not legally married. Cheers. No, officially they can not. But the fact is controls are less frequent in Khobar & Dammam than Riyadh. every one can do what ever he like i mean if a woman wanted to ride with a man she don't know you will find many of men are happy to give here a ride no one will tell here no. so if you know some one who need the ride in jeddah i can proove it for you :o) |
