Yes, that is a fact and a law too.
 
I tried to keep an open mind and read all the arguments in favor of prohibiting female driving, and so far, it is a complete joke.
 
It is a matter of time and I'm sure ladies will drive in Saudi Arabia. The pressure is already as all neighboring Gulf states made it a right for female to drive a vehicle.

I'm really glad to hear it... I must admit, I thought it sounded pretty unlogical to me... after all Saudi-Arabia is a civilised country. But that's why I asked, to find out if it was true or not... So thanks for the answer. Big smile

If a female is giving a birth in Saudi Arabia, why does she go to the hospital if no female doctors are allowed and at the same time, male doctors are not allowed to touch her?
 
If you restrict men from examining women, obviously you need female doctors. Common sense. Also, many cases were no qualified female doctor is available, priority is always human life and human health, so any doctor can surely examin her.
 
Anyhow, a good fictional joke. Just only if it was true. Only that.

While all of them were quite odd on one level or another, I found the no minimum age for sex law in Japan absolutely appalling! I'm sorry, but it is never ok to have sex with a child.....

In New York there is a law stating when approaching a corner in a motor vehicle, the driver must stop and fire a shotgun in the air.Wink

The West Virginia law about roadkill I believe applies to deer struck by a car or truck, if you hit one, you are allowed to take it and have it butchered.  I think Penna. has a similar law.Tongue

Florida - If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.

Parachuting isnt something that old kind makes me wonder about lawmakers. Also I belive alot of states still have the missionary position law. Any other position is illegal

The one about prostitutes in NL is the same in the UK.
 
The one about Thailand is definately false. It's bad manners to tread on any image of the king, but not illegal.
 
Australia cigarrette law is pretty much the same in the UK for alcohol and cigarettes.
 
Italy skirt law, there must be severe overcrowding in the prisons after any Italy v Scotland fixture.
