Pity the sons-in-law of these Saudi women.

The mahram law does not include the sons-in-law of the Saudi women. It's only the grandfathers, fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews, sons, grandsons that are mentioned.

So the male-oppressed mother-in-law can wield her power and expunge her frustrations against men on these poor guys (the sons-in-law)!
