Something akin to this actually exists in Saudi Arabia. Specifically there is an app that allows man to keep track of their wives, who must get approval from their husbands to do things.


Seriously? Do they swipe right for "allow"? Why would anyone get married there?


> Why would anyone get married there?

Given the legal and practical social status of women in Saudi Arabia, that's kind of like looking at labor conditions in an antebellum Southern plantation and asking “why would anyone work there?” Perhaos not quite as extreme, but in the same direction.


Well you’re not exactly allowed to be single either, if it’s not a husband it’s a brother.


What is doing if the man does not want it?
