Eye on guardianshipThe reforms have had an unwitting consequence, observers note -- competition with arch-nemesis Iran to be more liberal over womens rights.Women inmates are often reported to be stuck in prisons after completing their terms because they were not claimed by their guardians.Saudi Arabia also recently annulled the "house of obedience" article in the marriage law, which grants a husband the right to summon his wife to his home against her will.Saudi Arabia ranked a low of 138 out of 144 countries in the 2017 Global Gender Gap Report by the World Economic Forum on gender parity.The decision to allow women to drive after a decades-long ban could give women the much-needed mobility to join the workforce.Saudi women now no longer need male permission to start business."Maybe five years from now it will be normal to see women at gas stations," he said, kissing his mothers hand.But women face sobering realities -- despite often being better qualified than men.One Saudi woman told AFP how she was stuck in limbo, unable to even renew her passport, when her father, her only male guardian, slipped into a coma after an accident.Average monthly salaries in the private sector are close to 8,000 Saudi riyals (USD 2,134, 1,748 euros) for men, and only 5,000 riyals for women, according to research firm Jadwa.Kickstarted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the reforms include the historic decision allowing women to drive from June, attend soccer games and take on jobs that once fell outside the narrow confines of traditional gender roles."Women today have the right to do any work.Saudi media has championed in recent months the first woman restaurant chef, first woman veterinarian and even the first woman tour guide.
