Abstract

This study aims to identify the social effects of the decision of allowing women to drive a car and travel without permission on their families from the participants’ perspective, and know the differences between the characteristics of the participants (age, gender, educational level, monthly family income, profession, place of origin, number of children, number of years of marriage) along with the research questions. The online questionnaire is used to collect data from the participants. The study sample numbered (400) individual husbands and wives. Some of the results the study has reached are: participants agreed (to some extent) on the axis of “the social effects of the decision  of allowing women to drive cars on the Saudi family”, However, they did not agree (to some extent) on the axis of “The social effects of the decision  of allowing women to travel without permission at the age of 21  years on the Saudi family”, The results of the study also show that there are statistically significant differences between the gender variable and the responses of the study personnel to the social effects of the decision  of allowing women to drive and travel without permission at the age of 21 in favor of the female variable. Statistics reveal notable differences between the number of children and the number of years of marriage, and between the responses of the study personnel to the social consequences of the decision of allowing women to travel without permission at the age of 21 on the Saudi family, in favor of those who have (2, 3) children and in favor of those whose number of years of marriage ranges from 5 to less than 10,000 years.  Statistics also indicate that there are significant differences between the variable of the occupational situation and the responses of the study personnel to the social consequences of the decision of allowing women to drive in favor of those who do not have a job.
