Why not allow the Saudi king to intermarry with Palestine?

The main reason is to encourage Saudi men to marry Saudi women. Foreign-related marriage often means that cultural conflicts are easy to occur in the family, which eventually leads to the breakdown of marriage. According to Saudi media statistics, the foreign wives of Saudi men mainly come from Syria, Morocco, Palestine and other Arab countries.

Related to the tightening of labor policy in Saudi Arabia.

As the largest oil exporter in the world and the largest economy in the Arab world, Saudi Arabia's unemployment rate has been above 12.5%. Most Saudis prefer to work in the public sector, where they can enjoy high salaries, shorter working hours and more holidays, rather than working at the bottom. After the oil industry in Saudi Arabia took off in1970s, Saudi Arabia's economy was mainly supported by immigrants. 1 1.3 million of the Saudi labor force, immigrants account for more than half. At present, Saudi official statistics show that there are about 8 million foreign workers.

20 1 1 After the outbreak of the Arab Spring, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia made reducing the unemployment rate his top priority. Saudi Arabia's labor laws for foreign workers have become stricter. In 20 12, the Saudi Ministry of Labor announced that the proportion of foreign workers would be reduced to 20%, which meant that at least 2 million foreign workers in Saudi Arabia were unemployed. In 20 13, the Saudi government issued a policy explicitly requiring that new employment opportunities be reserved for Saudis. Saudi Arabia's strict control over foreign-related marriages has something to do with this policy background.

Marrying immigrant women has been controversial in Gulf countries. At present, there are about 500,000 women working in Saudi Arabia, mainly maids, in four countries-Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Chad, which have been listed as countries where marriage is prohibited by the Saudi government. Because Saudi men rarely have access to the ex-girlfriends of family members, cases of Saudi male employers raping and abusing foreign maids and maids killing their employers are often reported in newspapers. In 2009, an Indonesian maid who could not bear the abuse of her employer was beheaded in public for killing her employer.

Some China people who have lived in Saudi Arabia for a long time told me that compared with the news that frequently appeared in newspapers, more foreign maids choose to submit to humiliation and even deliberately seduce male employers, so as to finally achieve the goal of marrying their employers. This kind of marriage is often not true love, only money and sex. And the increase of this kind of marriage means that the unstable factors of family and society are increasing.
