MD and SA

When I suggested we visit, Abdullah smiled with sweet exasperation. It was a smile I would grow all too accustomed to from Saudi men in the coming days. It translated into “No f---ing way, lady.”
“Women are not allowed to go into cemeteries,” he told me.

“Can they go in if they’re dead?,” I asked.
“Women can be buried there,” he conceded, “but you are not allowed to go in and look into it.”
So I can only see a dead woman if I’m a dead woman?
