In a recent ruling, the Saudi clerics had declared that women workers cannot work with men. The only way for them to do so would be to breast-feed their co-workers<\/a>, a practice enunciated by Mohammad.<\/p>\n

Now, driving for women has been a touchy issue for long in Saudi Arabia. They are not allowed to work. But then they cannot be allowed to go in the cars alone with unmarried \u201cother men\u201d either. So, they have an issue!<\/p>\n

The women have been demanding the right to drive. With this new announcement of Adult Breast-feeding, these women have come up with an interesting \u201cworkaround\u201d: To breast-feed their drivers, who are mostly foreigners.<\/b><\/p>\n

Drawing from the cleric\u2019s advocacy, the women have reportedly chosen a slogan for their campaign that translates to, \u201cWe either be allowed to drive or breastfeed foreigners.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly there are showrooms which sell cars to women \u2013 women car salespersons sell to women customers \u2013 just that they cannot drive. Basically, they are buying a car for their hubbies to drive them around in \u2013 since they cannot go alone with drivers alone anyways.<\/p>\n
