Saudi women to get divorce confirmation by text message
BBC ^ | 5 January 2019 | staff

A new regulation in Saudi Arabia is set to stop Saudi women from being divorced without their knowledge.

Starting from Sunday, courts will be required to notify women by text on rulings confirming their divorces.

Local female lawyers suggest the measure will end what are known as secret divorces - cases where men end a marriage without telling their wives.

Saudis are getting into tech. Men can no longer just scream, "I divorce you" three times. Now they have to send their wife a text!

And the American Feminazi’s enraged response to this cold, heartless treatment of of women is coming in 3 - 2 - 1....

What? Oh, that’s right, they’re only really interested in the right to kill their unborn babies.

What can Saudi women still not do? There are many things that Saudi women are unable to do without permission from a male guardian, usually a husband, father, brother or son.

These things include, but are not limited to:

Applying for passports

Travelling abroad

Getting married

Opening a bank account

Starting certain businesses

Getting elective surgery

Leaving prison

The guardianship system has helped create one of the most gender unequal countries in the Middle East.

This should be posted for liberals everywhere. This is what Muslim culture and laws look like? This is what democrats/libs support. THIS IS FEMINISM.

No more secret divorces. Good. Now maybe the Social Justice Warriors will quit their constant criticism of Islam. Oh, wait. The SJW’s never criticize Islam.

Never mind.

The American version will be a judge sending the husband a text that reads, “You’re screwed. The wife gets the house, car, kids, dog and half your take-home pay and 401K”.

“I break with thee”

“I break with thee”

....And then you throw dog poop on her shoes.

Now everyone will be getting “divorce spam” calls along with offers to renew your extended warranty on the camel you traded in over 5 years ago.

Do they have to send 3 texts?

And if so, do standard charges and roaming rates apply?

And once they get divorced do the women go right back to elementary school where they came from?
