  Women in Saudi Arabia

  沙特阿拉伯的女人们

  Progress for women is going into reverse under the new king

  在新任国王的统治下,女性地位的进步又倒退了

  WHEN Hind Al-Otaibi went to the Riyadh Personal Status Court to have her father struck out as her wali, or guardian, the judges seemed sympathetic. Her father had raped and bruised her, Ms Otaibi, who was a teenager at the time, told the court. He refused to let her travel abroad, even to her mother's funeral, and when she escaped from home had persuaded social services to send her back. After consideration, the judges determined last year that her father, an imam from the Saudi interior of Nejd, remained her legal guardian; but that a guardian only had powers to approve his ward's marriage. If upheld on appeal, the ruling could topple the legal edifice of male control, depriving walis of their power over whether their women can study, work, travel or open bank accounts. “Emancipation from slavery,” says Ms Otaibi.

  当欣德·奥黛比在利雅得的 Personal Status Court(类似于国内的民事法庭,处理离婚等案件)请求去除父亲的斡里或监护人的身份时,法官们似乎很同情。当时还是青少年的奥黛比在法庭上控诉父亲强奸并虐待她。她父亲拒绝让她出国,即使是去母亲的葬礼也不允许。当奥黛比从家中逃出来时,他父亲说服当地社会服务机构将她遣回。她的父亲是沙地中部省份内志的一位伊玛目。在经过慎重考虑之后,去年法官们最终决定保留其父的法定监护人地位。但只是在被监护人的婚姻上拥有监护权。如果法庭支持上诉的话,那么男性控制的法律体系将会颠覆,他们对于女子是否能够学习,工作,旅游或开户的决定权将被剥夺。正如奥黛比说的“从奴役中得到解放”。

  In recent years, the lot of Saudi women has improved. An increasing number of malls, gated communities and even private beaches, where women swap burqinis (the all-enveloping swimwear Saudi women must wear) for bikinis, were put off-limits to the prying eyes of the religious police. The government sent tens of thousands of women abroad to study in Western universities, where they could experience the freedom of moving, dressing and driving as they pleased. Those left behind could gawp at the gap between their own world and the virtualone to which many Saudis escape for hours every day.

  近年来,沙特阿拉伯女性们的命运有了一定的改善。越来越多的商场,封闭式社区甚至一些私人游泳池也规定那些探头探脑的宗教警察禁止入内,在那里女性可以用比基尼代替全裹泳衣(沙特女性游泳时必须穿的全裹的泳衣)。政府派出了上万的女性去欧洲大学学习,在那里他们可以享受活动自由,穿着和驾车自由。那些留在国内的女性可以想象自己所处的世界和那些沙特人整日整夜幻想的世界的区别。

  Armed with doctorates, many have returned to prize open the job market. In 2012 the courts licensed their first female lawyer. Last December women for the first time stood for election to local councils. Bayan al-Zahran, a lawyer in Jeddah, has set up the first female-led law firm, and law faculties in women's colleges churn out fresh attorneys.

  很多拥有博士学位的人回国之后得到就业市场的青睐。2012年法院给第一位女性律师颁发了资格证书。去年12月,妇女们第一次参与到当地委员会的竞选当中。吉达的一位律师巴扬·札赫兰成立了第一家女性领导的律师事务所,女子学院的法律系也培养出了大量的新人律师。
