I'm afraid you have the biased mind. In Saudi as in all muslim/islamice countries the women are treated like property. The reason they don't drive is because they're not allowed to, same with lots of other things they don't do. I'm sure a lot of the women would probably like to be able to do more for themselves rather than to have to wait for a "man" to take them.

tunshe: A list from biased minds!

Placing Saudi Arabia on that list is a very wrong submission.

Because Saudi Arabia refuses to allow women mix freely with men? They would have been delisted if they allowed men Bleep women like dogs on streets like here in the US?

A society that caters for women needs, why must a woman drive when male drivers, husband or relatives can take them out when they wish? Is driving a car the priority or getting to your destination?

I see this as a respect to women rather than marginalisation.

Thumbs up to Saudi Arabia for treating women as the most valuable being.

Update

See what majority of Saudi Arabia women think (PLEASE READ);
