A Saudi Arabian woman who was on trial for living and traveling alone without her father’s permission did not commit any crimes, according to a ruling issued by a judge. Public prosecutors had been pursuing the woman for being absent from her family’s home and traveling to Riyadh without permission. In his final ruling, the judge said, “the independence of the defendant in a separate house did not count as a punishable act … the defendant is a sane, adult woman who has the right to choose where to live.” He added to his statement saying, “What the defendant did by moving to Riyadh and living in a separate home is one of her natural rights and cannot be described as a punishable crime.”
