Why did they reject? They suspect she might engage in "the worlds oldest profession". LOL!

Even very open GCC countries like Bahrain and UAE stop giving visas for single women just before the Formula 1 GP (for approx 1 month) or any major event. They do this to control the number of "working girls". Temporary clean up of image until the event is over, and then back to normal. I suspect the same with the Asian Cup happening here.
