MICHELLE OBAMA FORGOES HEADSCARF IN SAUDI ARABIA
Michelle Obama joined President Obama in Saudi Arabia for a condolence visit after the death of the King Abdullah. She stepped of the plane wearing long paints and long jacket, cut no head scarf. It is law there for females to wear headscarf and loose robes. For foreigners though, it is not required. There are strict laws in Saudi Arabia separating men from women. Women are not allowed to drive, they have to get permission from a male relative to travel. When Mrs. Obama stepped off the plane she was greeted by Saudi officials and some shook her hand but most just nodded in acknowledgement.
