"I would say most of Qatari people will not allow thier girls to live alone. This is not freedom to us nor does it jeopardise women's rights"
Oh. Okay. Well, as long as we're all in agreement that being an adult and not getting to choose where and how you want to live isn't a freedom or right....
"There are many Qatari girls who get sent to study abroad for long times and exclusively for those girls, expenses are also covered for thier father to accompany them! This is not given to boys!"
That's right -- because FATHERS DON'T HAVE TO ACCOMPANY THEIR MALE CHILDREN WHEN THEY GO SOMEWHERE. Because here they think that men don't need another adult to watch over them.
Gee, I wish I could have this "right" they give women here, and have my father (or other male relative) accompany me everywhere I go and watch over me as if I was some errant soul who couldn't behave properly or make decisions on my own.
That would be absolutely fabulous.
Sign me up.
Choice for marriage? I don't think so (though this goes both ways here; the government has weird rules about getting approval for someone who is not Qatari/GCC. And until recently, they would not entertain giving Qatari citizenship to children of Qatari women married to other nationalities. THAT'S real fair and equitable...).
And if after EVERYTHING that ALL the people on here have pointed out to you so far, you STILL are going to think that Qatari women have it better overall than Canadians (or most other Western females), then you're smoking some serious crack, my friend...
