Transexual Inheritance in Saudi Arabia
29 November 2004"'The events of Sept. 11, 2001 changed many people’s lives and many Saudis, especially students. The big question of course was: How would I return to Saudi Arabia? What would my legal status be in the Kingdom? I had a Saudi passport with a photo of me as a man but I was now a woman. How could I return as a woman and would the authorities allow me to enter the country? There was no solution except for me to return as a man.'" An interview with Ahmad, a young Saudi transexual who became a woman after inheriting the full, man's share of his millionaire father's estate: twice as much as a woman may inherit under Islamic law.
