This is interesting. The Saudi religious police have been steadily losing power and will be essentially eliminated. It seems Saudi women can walk about without a headscarf without fear of legal reprisal.

I wonder how this will play out in the real world, though. There may not be legal reprisals for not covering, but I bet there will be individual Saudi citizens who disagree and will harrass women anyways. What will they do about those ones?
If it just a slap on the wrist or a little "warning" to not do it again, making a law will not change people's opinions if they still truly believe women are worthless. It's a start, I guess.
