This kind of lifestyle is very common in Saudi Arabia. Foreign women are gotten as domestic helpers from abroad often the Philippines. Those women then have their passport taken from them and are kept locked in the house not allowed to leave w/o being with the head female of the family. The women often work 14-16 hour days often longer. When they are allowed to sleep often they can't because of the younger family members of the family coming home late and being very noisy and obnoxious.

Many domestic helpers are sexually abused by males in the family as well and the women knowing they have no choice and no one to turn to. They have no passport or return ticket as its held by the family they are working for or the agency SA agency that will only believe the family. If the woman gets pregnant because of harsh Saudi laws about getting a woman who isn't your wife pregnant the family instead claims the woman ran away and they take her out to the desert and dispose of her rather then having the male in the family responsible go to jail for a few years (womens sentences are double that of men). If the woman runs and the police catch her she is often gang raped and taken to the desert and disposed of. If she makes it to her embassy the SA government keeps her from being able to leave w/o large fee's based on her cost often trumped up to being many times that she might own for said ticket and cost.

Yet still so many women clamour to work over there in hopes of supporting and helping their family. The saving grace is that she generally has a 1/5 chance of being placed with a SA family as Saudi Nationals are a minority in their own country.

Yet this is a "nicer" Muslim country and supposedly our ally. Why I ask.
