and so we cant drive but every women here is treated like royalty she has her own driver and she can go out when ever she wants, and if she didn’t felt like going out she can send him to get her anything she wants.

and about the blank marriage certificates i don’t know where did you get that from , this is the first time i have heard about it.

and about the praying its our religion and everyone has his own believes and no we are not forced to drop everything and pray even if we are in the street we should finish what we were doing and once we r done we go and pray .

every man can see his wife to be and go out with her when ever he wants.

It deals with a man's devout faith and how deviations from the male-female roles cause him embarrassment and that causes him to slowly reevaluate "the rules". It also deals with a woman who wants to escape the rules entirely and another woman who pushes the envelope by having a good job and embarrassing the man. He learns. I never got anger or indignation from the author (a woman) but I did get a sense of her understanding for the way the modern world is pressing into the Islamic traditions. (BTW her perspective is well-revealed in her self-interview on her website at http://www.findingnouf.com/.) It’s interesting that the book is written primarily from the male perspective.

I don't know. I assumed it was because they didn't want to risk unmarried couples pretending to be parents. PJ, good question. I don’t know.
