A Digital Leash For Women: SMS Tracking Of Wives In Saudi Arabia

Saudi men can now be alerted via text message if women try to escape from the country. The new digital leash on women is being resoundingly criticised over social media channels. "Hello Taliban, herewith some tips from the Saudi e-government!", wrote one angry commenter, according to Al Arabiya. The new technology has reportedly been in place last week, and was discovered after a husband was alerted by immigration authorities while traveling with his wife.
