This came after a member of the Council of Senior Scholars issued a “fatwa” (edict) prohibiting women from visiting male doctors without having male guardians present.
“Islamic law does not permit women to visit their doctors without male guardians,” said Qais Al-Mubarak, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars. “Women are prohibited from exposing body parts to male doctors in Islamic law, especially during childbirth. This does not include medical emergencies. Islamic jurisprudence makes exceptions,” he added.
Male guardians can only be the next of kin in Islam. They are sons, grandsons, husbands, brothers, fathers or uncles. Al-Mubarak said male doctors could conduct medical examinations on female patients only if female physicians are unavailable and only if male guardians accompany them. “Unaccompanied visits to male doctors can have negative implications,” he said.

I underestimated them again. I thought it would never get worse. Why don't they just build 2 big paritions, 1 male, 1 female, and a big wall in between.
We do live in enlightened times.
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
What a miserable f*cking culture.

With their enormous oil wealth, Saudi-Arabia has the potential to be one of the best places to live on Earth. Instead they choose to make their country an opressive hell hole that treats one half of the population as cattle and the other half as children. What a miserable culture indeed.
Soooooooooo..... since it's hard for a woman to jump through all these hoops to get a medical degree ... .... welp... Good luck on those infant mortality rates and all that pelvic floor dysfunction you're going to end up with!
"Women are prohibited from exposing body parts to male doctors in Islamic law, especially during childbirth. This does not include medical emergencies"
So, it's entirely arbitrary and women with suffer because of this.
Islamic "law" also states that to prove a charge of rape 4 male relatives have to have witnessed the act and that the testimony of women in court is only worth half of that of a man.
The religion of peace strikes again.
Male guardians can only be the next of kin in Islam. They are sons, grandsons, husbands, brothers, fathers or uncles.
