Mwanamke huyo allijipiga selfie ya video akiwa anaendesha gari akamtumia Mumewe kama surprise ya kuendesh gari kwani hajawahi kumuona akiendesha akitegemea angeifiwa sana. Baada ya kurudi nyumbani Kilichofuata ni talaka.
Mwanaume huyo alimwambia hakimu kwamba sio tu mke wake kavunja sheria tu, bali kavunjia hata mila na desturi zetu. Wanawake wa Saudia, hawaruhusu mwanamke kuendesha gari hadhaani.
Mwanaume huyo amemshutumu mke wake kwamba sio kwamba hafuati sheria tu, bali ni jeuri na mtukutu pia.

Whatsapp driving surprise causes Saudi man file for divorce

A Saudi Arabian man has divorced his wife after she sent him a video showing her driving their family car.
Saudi women are subjected to a de facto ban on driving in the kingdom because they are not allowed to apply for licenses, a fact which has been the topic of numerous criticisms, campaigns and protests.
According to the Al Arabiya news site, the woman filmed herself driving in a public place and then sent the file to her husband on the instant messaging application Whatsapp, “expecting to surprise” him.
Yet if it was indeed intended as a light-hearted joke, the stunt has backfired spectacularly – the man has now filed divorce papers, and reportedly told a judge that his wife broke not only the law but also “social traditions and norms”.
Al Arabiya reported that the news had divided social media users in the country, with some defended him for “standing up for traditions” and others critical that he would break up a family over the issue.
Outside of Saudi Arabia, the driving ban has attracted almost universal criticism. The international community got behind a campaign in October last year, which saw around 60 women picture themselves flouting the ban.
Naseema al-Sada, who has driven in the eastern region of Qatif, told The Associated Press that public attitudes have changed following the movement.
“Women's rights are no longer a taboo subject,” she said, noting that the campaign is also widely covered in the domestic media.
