Saudi Arabia runs online database of women to track them, stop them running away
An anecdote.<p>I know a guy from a small country in that region that begins with Q and sounds like a common word for mucous membrane inflammation. His late father was an imam. He wears the traditional garb when he is home. He is a fairly standard [person from that country].<p>I asked him why he feels women shouldn't have equal rights to men.<p>The beginning of his response: "Well, it is medically proven that women are natural carriers of disease…"<p>That's the culture there.<p>EDIT: Removed the country name because I'm flying their airline tomorrow.
