Spokesman of the Ha’eal district, Sheikh Motlab al-Nabet said the committee has the right to stop a women whose eyes seem “tempting” and order her to cover them immediately.
Saudi women are already forced to wear a loose black dress and to cover their hair and in some areas, their face, while in public or face fines or sometimes worse, including public lashings.
The announcement came days after it was reported that a Saudi man was admitted to a hospital after a fight with a member of the committee when he ordered his wife to cover her eyes. The husband was then stabbed twice in the hand.

What are these Saudi men afraid of ?
That people discover that they're actually married a man. Never buy a pig in a poke.
I find her walking seductive. Ban her from moving!!
Aye, and Saudi Arabia was elected to the UN's Women's Rights Agency. Totally insane.

Why can't Muslim men control themselves?
What's ironic is that these women will go into the bathroom several times a day to refresh their eye makeup since it's the only thing showing. I spent some time in Qatar. The female bathroom was the most interesting thing about the trip. Unfortunately, it is true.
A friend of mine spent some time in Israel - apparently they obey the letter of the law but not the 'spirit', as it were. In other words, a woman might be forced to wear a full burka, but there's no specific law to say it can't be clingy and somewhat revealing in a figure-hugging way....
"Why can't Muslim men control themselves?"
Isn't this horrible oppression of women a way of controlling men, too? A kind of externalised form of self control? A sick, twisted and evil form, of course.
