Question

I understand that females cant drive, they cant go alone in taxis etc. In case of any emergency for eg, someone gets hurt or if someone is ill, what shall she do in a situation if her husband is not around?

Answer 1

In case of emergency, a woman can surely take a taxi.

Women take taxis even for everyday shopping.

Nevertheless in a traditional Saudi setting, she will be rarely alone.

Families tend to live in compound areas, where the neighbours are relatives.

Thus in any case there will be someone around.
