right to drive, according to a royal
decree issued by the country’s
king,Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.


Saudi Arabia is the only country in the
world where women are prohibited
from driving.

King Salman ordered that an ministerial
body would implement the change by
June 2018, following a consultation over
the next 30 days.



The decree referred to the “negative
consequences of not allowing women
to drive the vehicle and the positive
aspects of allowing it”.



It added that the “majority” of senior
scholars viewed allowing women to
drive as legitimate.
