Saudi school girls warned against wearing ‘tight clothes’

Saudi Arabia has warned its school girls against wearing tight clothes on the grounds they are against school rules and Islamic tenets; in a statement published in local newspapers on Monday, The Ministry of Education said it had noticed some female students at schools across the Gulf Kingdom were wearing tight dresses “that showed most body details”; “the schoolgirl’s dress must be in line with Islamic tenets, it must not be transparent or sticking to the body in a way that will highlight her organs, there should not be any resemblance to the boy’s dress as our prophet (peace be upon him) had cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men”.
