Saudi Judges Can Require Women Witnesses To Unveil Faces For Identification

ADVERTISEMENTS
Today's Saudi Gazette reports that Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Haqeel, chairman of Saudi Arabia's Court of Grievances, speaking at a workshop said that judges now have the right to require Muslim women inside the courtroom to unveil their faces for identification purposes.

The Court of Grievances is planning to employ women to check out identities before women present their cases in court. [Thanks to Crossroads Arabia for the lead.]
