Prince of Lasanod
Eid trim pending
Women in Saudi Arabia have innundated the government with complaints over plans to import Moroccan women as housemaids. The reason: Moroccan women are just too beautiful and may lure the Saudi husbands away.
It is a relatively rare event when the voices of Saudi women are heard in protest. This year there have been notable exceptions as some women protested for the right to drive, whilst others demanded the right to vote. Now they have another common cause as they put their foot down against plans to bring female domestic maids from Morocco into the Kingdom.
According to Emirates 24 the Shura Council was“deluged by demands from Saudi women”to suspend the plans. Considering that Saudi households have been desperate for new maids since the government issued a ban effective from Aug. 1 on any new domestic workers from Indonesia and the Philippines, the refusal to accept Moroccan workers at first appears odd.
However it turns out that Moroccan women are considered too beautiful and may lure the Saudi husbands away from their wives. Emirates 247 says some of the Saudi complaints were “Moroccan women are so attractive that their husbands could easily fall for them.”Other stated concerns were“Moroccans are good at magic and sorcery and that this could enable them to lure their husbands.”In a country where adultery is punishable by stoning to death, Saudi women are exhibiting signs of great insecurity.
