Everyone knows that there are strict restrictions on women in Islamic Nations and Saudi Arabia is no different. Even the punishments for those who break those rules are extremely barbaric.

But it seems US first lady Michelle Obama during her visit to Saudi Arabia along with President Barack Obama broke the country’s strict dress code. During her visit with Barack Obama to condole the death of the Kind Abdulla, Michelle Obama sported long pants and brightly colored jacket. While women are required to wear head scarf and cover themselves under a veil, Mrs Obama didnot wear it.

Many Saudi officials, all men greeted Obamas in Riyadh. While some shook hands with her, others acknowledged her with a smile though avoided hand shake. Saudi Television blurred the photos of Michelle Obama in the telecast. However Saudi Arabia embassy in US denied all the charges.

In Saudi according to Sariah, women are even banned from driving. They are also required to take permission from males to travel, get married or pursue higher education.
