Where as Saudi Arabia is a Theocracy there are also other countries called a Democracy. In a Democracy the citizens vote on a group of representatives that they think will best represent/run their country. This means that the people of a democratic country like Denmark have more freedom in their speech and their actions. This is different compared to a Theocracy because in a Theocracy people are forced to follow strict laws based on their religion. In Saudi Arabia they are forced to follow rules all based on the Islamic religion and they have little right to what they can freely do

Women must get permission from their male guardian in order to perform major tasks. Some of these tasks include marriage, divorce, travel, education, and employment. 17% of the work force is females and they often have sections just for women to work. These ways of treating women were forced upon because the government believed that women did not contribute to the war nor contribute to the tax system. The government also believed that women had a tendency to be emotional so therefore they should't be able to do certain things.
