Saudi Arabia to follow women, using high technology.

Very wonderful

Saudi husbands 'alerted by text' if their wives leave the country
Women in Saudi Arabia are now monitored by the government using an electronic system that tracks any cross-border movements, alerting their male guardians by text if they attempt to leave the country.

I 'm only surprised that they haven't refined it to rat on women when they leave the house.

"If I need an SMS to let me know my wife is leaving Saudi Arabia, then I'm either married to the wrong woman or need a psychiatrist,"

This one was pretty good.

Nor do I, their husbands can come and retrieve them before they flee to Australia and experience freedom.

Perhaps in another few hundred years it might occur to them that there might be a reason why their wives are choosing to leave the country, and that perhaps they might be better served by fixing those reasons instead of spending all this money on monitoring equipment and infrastructure.

"Nah, they'll never go for it."

I agree that 'they'll never go for it'; however, I think your timeline can be accelerated.

First, the oil won't last another two hundred years, so the power base disappears.

Second, if the Saudis think that Syria is as far east that the unrest spreads they are sadly mistaken.
