Yes they are. They can't even drive cars and they have to follow certain rules called the sharia laws. Men have to follow the rules but they are using a whole different proses.

Some laws denied women (but allowed to men) in Saudi Arabia are:

  • permission to petition for divorce,
  • permission to marry more than one spouse,
  • permission to determine reproductive health decisions,
  • permission to object to arranged marriages,
  • permission to be unchaperoned in public, i.e. move autonomously,
  • permission to drive a car,
  • guarantees of equal pay for equal work,
  • permission to work alongside men in any company facility that may also employ men,
  • permission to join the army in any capacity,
  • permission to vote on any issue (men have limited voting rights),
  • permission to seek redress for domestic violence,
  • permission to wear any clothing she may desire, etc.

Why are women from Saudi Arabia banned from the Olympics?

It is important to note that this ban on Saudi Women is not imposed by the International Olympic Committee (the organization the runs the Olympics) but is self-imposed by Saudi Arabia. Women in Saudi Arabia are treated unequally when compared to their male counterparts, as are women in most Islamic nations. However, two Saudi Arabian women did actually compete in the 2012 London Olympics this year: Sarah Attar in the 800 meter race and Wojdan Shaherkani in women's judo. When the women entered in the opening ceremonies, they were required to enter behind the men.
