Some Saudi girls may suffer from the decision banning driving, but the suffering doubles for the divorced girl and the widow.
There was a man in her life who managed her affairs, and after he left her, he left her alone, grappling with her circumstances on her own. Among those girls are those who do not have a man in her life, a deceased father and younger siblings whose affairs she follows, and a husband who has passed away through death or divorce. With that suffering, Okaz listened to a number Among the girls who spoke fervently about banning driving, considering that the decision came as a lifeline for the girl to manage her affairs away from the power of drivers and the cost of taxis, and with that suffering, the groaning was faint and no one heard the screams of pain.
Alia Al-Sabti says that she is the eldest in the house, and she is the one who manages his affairs after her father died and she separated from her husband, and there is no longer a man in her life who follows up on her affairs, as she is the father and she is responsible for every small and large thing in her family’s house. And my younger brothers, but I fell into another dilemma, which is that I could no longer bear the costs of the driver's fare and his monthly salary, and I had no monthly income other than social security, so I was suffering from both issues.
Alia added, "When I heard a male opinion objecting to a woman driving, I wished that the author of the opinion would see my suffering with my house and managing his affairs without a car, and I wish he would see my suffering with the driver and his many conditions."
Nawal Al-Ghamdi added: "If only the Saudi man who was opposed to women driving would see how the foreign driver should treat the divorced woman and the widow who needs him more than anything else. But it is better to come late than not to come, as she suffered after her divorce and did not find anyone to drive her for her daily trips to school, and to drive her two sons except for a bossy driver who took advantage of her need.
As for Nisreen Al-Marwani, she is a twenty-five-year-old girl whose husband died two years ago. Nisreen says: “My husband, may God have mercy on him, fulfilled all my requirements, and I did not think about the issue of women driving until God passed away. I knew at that time how many girls needed a decision.” He supports women driving, while preserving customs and traditions and being in accordance with the controls. It is not forbidden for a girl to drive her car alone, but it is forbidden for me to be at the mercy of a taxi driver every day, and everyone suffers from his problems. by hand.” Nisreen recalled an incident of harassment that happened to one of her friends when she hired a driver for a company, and she was surprised by his hand and it was prolonged, at that time she screamed at the top of her voice until he put her down and fled, and although she filed a complaint about that incident, she did not take her right.
