In case nobody has heard about it since last year, the Saudi government has desired to implement female mutaween (religious police for propagation of virtue and prevention of vice). Iranian government already has such a thing in place and now it appears Saudi will try to catch up with this.
Numerous mutaween are known to become very corrupt and often take bribes and even abuse their power to heckle women so it appears this new action is being pushed to prevent this. One could say female mutaween are the Yin and the males are the Yang to provide balance to the system.
Anyone have any opinions on this? And does anyone object to allowing females in?
Personally I would desire to see female Mutaween as I know it would stop corruption and provide a more balanced system like that of Iran.
