It's amazing how women in the rest of the world have coped and managed to produce children.

This man is such a bigot that even the Saudis sacked him from a judiciary council. If there is an issue with children being born with clinical problems I suggest he looks at the issue of consanguinity instead.

A young Saudi, who seemed genuine, posted online after this story broke saying the news service posting this story was 'biased' and that the guy was misquoted, that this is a shot in the 'war' for reformation, particularly ahead of the 26th Oct action.

It seemed a reasonable explanation when you think about it. Certainly when you see how much vitriol this story creates internationally and locally.

I haven't read it, but how do women still produce kids if they are driven around? Or is it just pressing pedals that destroys their ability to reproduce?

Trying to persuade them - or subcontinentals - that cross-cousin marriage is a bad idea ? Wasting your breath. Let evolution take care of it !

Yeah, it's bad for your health if your husband finds out. Assholes.
