The concept of Mehram is actually Islamic, and never been attributed to the culture of a given society. A culture is a mixture of norms, habits, customs, and social values, in which religion can never be asserted to.
If you so-called Mehram theory would work, then I guess it is safe to say that %80 of Saudi women are violating it whenever they leave their houses to run their daily errands in car with their drivers. The same goes to Saudi women who work at Banks, Hospitals, companies, and the state as well.
This is utterly stupid, illogical. On one hand, we do have female ambulance dispatches. And on the other is the rule that says necessities know no laws
...
When on earth would that be a problem if there is a proper replacement to it? Almost every Saudi woman has a car, driven by a driver. It would be a problematic socio-cultural issue if there no alternatives to it.
The term Meharm can only be applied when a woman travels to some places on her own. Don't abuse the term much.
Now you say it is a custom and before you claimed it is a cultural issue?
He won't get away with it even if he were here. There is something called court, and social service.
