No more virgins if women allowed to drive, Saudis say

The following report comes, word for word, from Canada's QMI Agency. There didn't seem to be any point in editing or paraphrasing it. I did, however, check to make sure it's not dated April 1st.

Allowing women to drive in Saudi Arabia would cause rampant sex, porn and homosexuality, according to some of the country's scholars.

Academics at the country's highest religious council submitted a report to the legislative assembly warning of the dangers of letting women behind the wheel, reports the Daily Telegraph.

If the only country in the world that still bans women from driving were to change its rules, there would be "a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce."

Within ten years of the ban being lifted, the report claimed, there would be "no more virgins" in the country, according to the paper.

Currently, women caught driving in the kingdom may be lashed as punishment.

The study overlooked the benefits of allowing women to drive, such as an increase in business for the body-and-fender menders and not having to take them shopping.
