Sorry the quote didn't use the right one for some reason!
In saudi Arabia men give their wives some freedom but this freedom is only because the laws already give them so much control. Secretly inside these same men are too insecure to give their women the freedom and justice they deserve because it would mean that they can no longer abuse their rights and power over them. And like most people, Saudi men are greedy and like the option to have their cake with lots of virginal cherries on top for the taking.
I think many of them do not quite see the hardship these laws cause for women because none of them have to endure them. It is so sad to see saudi women living in poverty after being divorced from their husbands or he doesn't take care of one of them in favor of another. I hope one day we will see freedom from oppression for all muslim women!
