美联社驻阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜记者阿亚.巴特拉维报道：“沙特阿拉伯允许女性在没有男性准许的情况下旅行。”

"Saudi Arabia allows women to travel without male consent," by AP's Aya Batrawy in Dubai, United Arab Emirates:

沙特阿拉伯星期五早上公布了新的法律，放宽了对妇女的限制，允许任何公民申请护照和自由旅行，结束了长期以来赋予男性控制（支配）女性的监护政策。

Saudi Arabia published new laws early Friday that loosen restrictions on women by allowing any citizen to apply for a passport and travel freely, ending a long-standing guardianship policy that gave men control over women.

这些变化是对沙特阿拉伯妇女在该国权利的潜在规则变革。长期以来，该法律体系一直受到批评，因为它将女性整个成年生活期视为未成年人，要求她们获得男性的同意才能获得护照或出国旅行。通常妇女的男性监护人是她的父亲或丈夫，有时（在某些情况下）是妇女自己的儿子。

The changes are a potential game-changer for Saudi women's rights in the kingdom. The legal system has long been criticized because it treated women as minors throughout their adult lives, requiring they have a man's consent to obtain a passport or travel abroad. Often a woman's male guardian is her father or husband, and in some cases a woman's own son.
