Riyadh - Said Al Ghamedi

 

Saudi Arabia intends to provide women with more freedoms during the coming period through allowing her to study, work and receive treatment in the hospitals to turn a new page in the kingdom’s history after decades of conservative approach from which the Saudi woman has been deprived from work or driving a car.

Women are not required to obtain consent from their guardians for services provided to them, “unless there is a legal basis for this request in accordance with the provisions of the Islamic Shariah,” according to a royal decree issued by King Salman and reported by Okaz local daily on Thursday.

“This came in a royal directive to all concerned government agencies, after approval of proposals raised by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers to resolve issues related to human rights,” according to the royal decree.

In a statement on their website confirming Okaz report, Human Rights Commission President Bandar bin Mohammed Al-Aiban said he welcomed the gesture saying that it reflects King Salman’s care of his people and embodies his concern to simplify procedures for women who constitute half of Saudi society and who are a major partner in the development of the society.

Many advocates of the empowerment of Saudi women hailed the announcement, as needing a male guardian’s consent can pose significant obstacle for women.

“This (male guardianship) has always been an obstacle to women and demeaning because unfortunately some guardians abused their authority over women and took advantage, said ” Maha Akeel, director of the public information and communication for the Jeddah-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

It finally recognizes the right of a woman “to be her own guardian and take care of her official matters… without the need for the approval of the guardian,” she added.

According to the Human Rights Commission, the Supreme Court has demanded concerned agencies to review procedures in force, Okaz reported.

It also demanded to list all procedures that require the approval of the woman’s guardian to complete a service and to provide an explanation of their statutory basis for the service within three months of the order’s issuance date.
