Finally a member of the Saudi Royals has spoken out for the women of that society. When it comes to Saudi women, what we best remember is the famous execution of a princess. ATV aired a drama documentary on the true story of Princess Mishaal and her lover - both executed, as a result of their love. The film was first shown in 1980 despite Saudi protests and threats. It showed a very ugly side of the Muslim society - the intolerant, hostile and anti-woman side.
Now Princess Adeelah has spoken out. Although her Rania El-Baz being taken to the hospital after her husband nearly killed her. Saudi Arabia was schocked by the images and a wide discussion on domestic violence was started. Domestic violence whose victims are women and children, of course. By some estimates 3 in 10 Saudi women are victims of domestic abuse.
Hopefully Princess Adeelah's views are not only her own but widely shared in the family she represents.
