Saudi Arabia's Divorce Discussion

I usually don't even read Arab News, but in the wake of the Rania al-Baz case, found this interesting opinion piece on the conversation about divorce rates in the country. Here is one Saudi cleric's take on the issue:

"The cleric went on to say that working women 'have mistaken ideas about independence, and that they do not regard the man as the controlling figure in the relationship and so they neglect their homes and concentrate on their jobs.'"

I was shocked to read that the divorce rate in Jeddah is 40%.
