Saudi Arabia said to plan relaxation of male guardianship laws
Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to relax its male guardianship laws to allow women to travel without requiring permission. The move would end guardianship laws pertaining to travel for men and women over 18 years old, allowing them to leave the country without the consent of a designated male family member, the Wall Street Journal reported. It was reported that the move could happen as early as this year but there was no immediate comment from the Saudi government.
