In Saudi Arabia, women need permission from their male guardian to perform a variety of activities:
> The anti male-guardianship campaign is an ongoing campaign by Saudi women against the requirement to obtain permission from their male guardian for activities such as getting a job, travelling internationally or getting married.

While maybe not property (just like how children are not property of their parents in the US), it does seem that women’s rights are limited in Saudi Arabia compared to most other countries.
Can single or married Saudi women purchase Aramco stock in this sale or do they need permission from their husband/guardian? That’s what I was trying to understand originally. Reading between the lines, it seemed to be saying that only divorced women who are responsible for kids can buy shares, and other women cannot (maybe with permission of their guardian?)

I would like to nominate this for comment for 'Most Valuable Understatement' of the day. Trolling aside, yes, it is very restrictive for females living in Saudi Arabia compared to pretty much any other country on Earth. I have hope that in my lifetime this will change.
