QUNFUDA: It happens from time to time: a young Saudi man decides to put on an abayya in order to enter “ladies only” sections. The motives are usually what you would expect from a young man, especially a young man living in a place with gender segregation. But when a woman working as a security guard at a girl’s school caught a guy pulling the old “cover up in an abayya” trick she got a different alibi: the lad said his pop told him to go into the school to confront the principal about unpaid salaries of his three sisters who work at the school. According to a report in Al-Riyadh daily, the boy told police he didn’t want to do it, but his father demanded that he try to collect the money. The report didn’t confirm this alibi, or say what happened to the cross-dressing young man.
