Saudi Arabia Allows Women to Live Alone Without Male Permission

The Makkah newspaper reported that Saudi Arabia has formally allowed single, divorced, or widowed women to live separately in a house without consent from their father or any other male guardian. Administrative authorities scrapped Paragraph B under article No. 169 of the “Law of Procedure before Sharia Courts,” which states that an adult single, divorced, or widowed woman shall be handed over to her male guardian. In July 2020, Saudi writer Mariam Al Otaibi, 32, won a historic decision ending a three-year legal fight against her family, which sued her for living and traveling alone under the “absenteeism” law. Under the old “absenteeism” law, parents or male guardians were permitted to file a report with the police against a woman in the case of her disappearance or living independently without getting permission from the guardian.
