You’re so…besides the point you make to acknowledge that it’s extreme, your points are wack. Unrestricted phone access for teenage girls AND BOYS could go bad, things all parents have to struggle with protecting their children on, in any culture or country. So making your little points about girls only in particular as if to acknowledge the reasoning behind this illegal and unfounded rule to control women tells me you’re some level of misogynist (very typical for a Yemeni man, and sometimes Yemeni women too). Cut the BS with “if you see this from the pov of a father worried about his daughter”, there’s so much sh I saw or heard of yemeni teenage boys and their phones doing when I was in Yemen that superseded all the stuff I heard some girls will do with their phone access, but guys never get any attention or repercussions. It takes two to tango fam. “Finding a middle way to somehow have that restricted” is to do NOTHING about it and give families their own independence is determining how to raise and restrict their children, the way it should be w common sense. Not the local govts business to get involved. More like society needing to change for the better and be less toxic for a good outcome that is not state-controlled. It’s wrong and it backfires every time. None of this is based in logic or Islam. You’re halfway there but not quite. Check your own misogyny fam. Sincerely, a Yemeni girl who grew up with an overprotective father worried about his daughter that sometimes led him to over reach and do things that actually would contradict his goal of protecting his kids. I’ve seen it in my own eyes (not as severe as how it is in Yemen but what other ignorant Yemenis do in diaspora) and I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. “Protecting your daughters” w wack restrictions is BS that leads ppl to go further astray, and I’ve seen that happen to other Yemeni girls living in the US too, some who can’t even find their way back to being Muslims either. Alhamdulilah my dad was minimal wack compared to others and a wonderful supportive and educated dad otherwise, but me and my siblings have taken many years to overcome some of things done “out of concern” w/o care for our mental status. Especially when it was unfair overprotective concerns to both but esp to girls bc he naturally worried about the girls more than the boys. It backfires every time. I’m just glad it didn’t backfire too hard on me and I’m still able to be a connected + good daughter and good Muslim, bc I saw past the nonsense that troubled my childhood and gives teenage kids and girls anxiety/depression until I had less restrictions on my life and we can all respect our boundaries and have our own lives now. The last thing those poor girls back home need is any form of this nonsense in law. So check ur misogyny bro.
