Saudi cleric says women too stupid to drive

[GUBU]

Saudi Arabia's ban on women driving must remain because they ‘lack the intellect’ of men, says leading cleric

Sheikh Saad al-Hajari said women had only half the brainpower of males – which fell to a quarter when they ‘went to the market’

The cleric in Saudi Arabia has called to keep the ban against women driving there, after claiming that their “lack of intellect” compared to men meant they should not be in control of a car.

Mr al-Hajari, the head of the Saudi government's religious edict authority in the southern province of Assir, spoke out against "the evils of allowing women to drive" at a lecture.
The cleric, who was quoted in a report by Saudi daily Sabq, said: "It is not their fault, but women lack intellect do they not?
"Would you give a man with half an intellect a driving licence? So how would you give one to a woman when she has half an intellect?
"And if they go out to the market this gets halved again! So they now have a quarter of an intellect."
He added: "Their lack of intellect does not harm their piousness because they are made that way." Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed pray while they are menstruating.
