Apparently this is even deemed ‘progress’ for them!

Sqad - there is a particular high court judge ( this is getting a bit er heady ) who specialises i n cases where islamic law touches english law
because it is NOT a question of reading the Sunny SUn and taking on trust - 'and yer honour dey all chop off deir heads, how they have babies I reely doan know'

the eluma of the mufti of jerusalem ( yes there really is a khazi of al quds) may well be taken into account

talaq is NOT recognised in english law
( polygamy is)

Khandro.....yes, your point is well taken and i am not suggesting that women in Saudi Arabia are living in paradise, but what i am trying to portray that of a group of individuals do benefit from customs that we in the West find difficult to accept.

Who benefits and from what customs?

"Who benefits and from what customs?"

Just off the top of my head:
The wives have their babies and are brought up in a family environment........that is a benefit that the Saudis seem to promote.
Their wives do not have jobs and adapt their lives to the environment which they are brought up to consider .."normal."
A hang up from the days that they lived as desert nomads and stayed at home ( tent) to look after the children and prepare meals for their returning husbands.
The wives are protected, as they see it, from the negatives of the outside world:

Depending upon the status of the husband, they (the women) are endowed with worldly goods.....which may be important to some.
Quite a different culture from the West.
“Islam eh, who needs it?”

Muslims do, apparently.

“The perfect post brexit trading partner. Let’s sell them more instuments of genocide.”

No need to bring Brexit into the equation. The UK has been doing business with Saudi Arabia for donkeys' years and will continue to do so, with or without either Brexit or the EU.

As sqad rightly says, a different culture entirely. The difficulty for me is that here in the UK we are expected to accept “multiculturalism” as a benefit. That suggests there is a benefit in embracing customs and practices such as the one mentioned here (among many others).
Question Author
PP,
Why on earth do you feel the need to constantly type in some ridiculous ‘Cockney sparrer look-at-me-I’m-Bert-from-Mary-Poppins’ style?
It makes it even more difficult and tiresome in trying to decypher your fevered ramblings!
// A new regulation in Saudi Arabia is set to stop Saudi women from being divorced without their knowledge. //

It'd be funny if it was a line out of Life of Brian, but as it's reality in 2019 it's err...well, still quite funny - for us that don't have to live there that is.
