Women in Saudi Arabia given the right to choose the method of childbirth

News24xx.com - In Saudi Arabia, women were allowed to choose the mode of procreation themselves. This will no longer require the permission of the male guardians, local media reported.

In addition, in the future, women will not need to obtain the signatures of guardians in order to get help from specialists about the course of pregnancy and the timing of the birth of the child.

Also, ladies can now independently decide whether a relative or a close person will be present during childbirth.

Considerable relaxation in the public sphere began in Saudi Arabia after King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud came to power in 2015 and appointed his 31-year-old son Mohammed ben Salman to be the heir to the throne. As a result, women received the right to drive cars and attend sporting events.
