Saudi Solutions (Bregtje van der Haak, VPRO 2005)

How to combine modernity and fundamentalist Islam. "Saudi Solutions" is a unique and revealing documentary about the lifestyles and attitudes of ambitious career women
in conservative Saudi Arabia -- the only country in the Arab
world where women are obliged to cover themselves inabayas and aren't allowed to drive cars. Because of the strong influence of fundamentalist Islam on society, filming
is severely restricted in Saudi Arabia. With unique access to the Kingdom, Backlight had the opportunity to film the daily routines of Saudi working women. This documentary
features a top gyneacologist, a TV news anchor woman, a photographer, and a university professor. It also introduces
the wealthy Prince Al-Waleed, who passionately promotes the acceptance of women into the workforce. He kindly invites
Backlight to his luxury desert camp, but there are no women to be found—only thousands of men.

The Saudi elite only pretend to be fundametalists when they are back home...these people own large mansions in cities around europe they travel to europe and enjoy themselves with women while non-elite citizens remain at home masturbating

i wonder how men recognize there wife...

[SarabAljouf]

@jeebs6 may I answer ... in the Islamic law .. there is something called " النظرة الشرعية " which means that the man and woman can meet each other " without sex " during the engagement time .. if they like each other they keep on and if they don't they simply stop .. it's so simple if you want it simple .. putting into an account that the decision is in between the woman's hands now 'cause the man ask and the acceptance or denial is left for the woman .. I hope I gave you the answer you want ..

can i ask!!!:::

how men and women to start their relationship together in the first place? men cant see women's faces, how can the men know she is one for him?

i know some arrange marriges happen in Saudi Arabia, what happen if the man find out the 'wife' is so ugly during their wedding night? or other way around? 'wife' think 'the husband' is ugly?
