Saudi Arabia is not poor and they have CARS to drive

Dear,

I just want to clarify certain things. Im living in Saudi Arabia and what you are saying regarding being a poor country and regarding cars are not true. Any Saudi family has at least two cars if not three. They have a car for the family ( a big car), the driver's car in order to drive the kids and other things, and the father's car. If there are old boys who can drive and if they work so each will have a car.

SO any Saudi family has AT LEAST one car (poor families). you said "it is not easy to get out of a marriage like in the west". It is the commitment that makes the difference. If he wants to divorce his wife he will do it easily. Islam allows men or women to get divorced. But family values are one of the most important values in Islam and in the saudi society.

Thanks
