In many countries, women are forbidden to leave home without permission of a husband or male guardian.

*In Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and [Salafi] Arabia, women can be arrested, [jailed] or forced to return if male guardians report that they are absent from their homes. [In] Israel … religious courts have jurisdiction over marriage and divorce &mash; mean women can lose their right to maintenance from their husbands for leaving the marital home, working or traveling without their husband’s consent.*

Of course, Iran and Afghanistan are even worse. But this injustice exists to some extent in a broader region, including all the Arab countries in the Middle East, and Egypt.
