It is hoped that all Muslim countries will support the initiatives taken by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
KECH: Saudi Arabia has announced fresh measures to empower its female citizens. Women over the age of 21 can now legally drive without the permission of a male guardian.
Now Saudi women have also received the right to register for childbirth, marriage and divorce. They can also get themselves registered as guardians for minors.
All these positive steps are the initiatives taken by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who introduced reforms in the kingdom, including in regard to gender equality.
It is hoped that all the Muslim countries will support the initiatives taken by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
