Saudi women will be sent divorce notification texts to prevent husbands from ending marriages secretly
Under Saudi Arabia's gender-biased laws, it is easier for a man to divorce his wife than for a woman to divorce her husband
Married women in Saudi Arabia will now get confirmation of their divorce through a text message, according to a new regulation. Reports state that the new law has been put in place in an attempt to end the practice where men divorce their wives without their knowledge.
Divorce courts in the Middle Eastern kingdom, starting today, will be required to notify women on the rulings which confirm their divorce, according to the Daily Mail. Under the kingdom's generally gender-biased laws, it is easier for a man to divorce his wife than for a woman to divorce her husband.
