Think twice before you take your wife to Saudi Arabia

• Ever wonder why women in Saudi Arabia are banned from driving. If your wife tries to drive alone on any road, she is most likely to get pursued by highway rapists and sex murderers. Besides, there are far, far too many rapes and incests happening everyday in Saudi Arabia. Rapists break into houses too. Some have raped and killed female migrant workers. Another thing, your wife would have to practise extra caution when entering shops. A lot of Saudi women have got sexually harassed in shops, hotels, buses, taxis, etc. Or worse, raped and murdered. Far too many Saudi women are disappearing everyday. I am sorry to tell you this, Saudi Arabia is not a safe country for your wife and daughters. Saudi Arabia is rated as one of the world's worst countries for sex crimes against women and female children and also for the sexual abuses against men and boys.
  Try other female-friendly countries where women can feel safe on streets, in their homes, in cars or buses, in public places, etc.
