Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in Saudi Arabia have been told not to arrest women driving cars.

“There is no law or specific text that allows the Commission members to do it,” a source at the religious organisation said, the London-based Saudi daily Al Hayat reported.

Women are generally banned from driving in the vast Saudi kingdom, but there is no law that supports the ban, which is seen as a social, not legal, restriction.   »»» GulfNews.com
