Saudi women to be notified of divorce by text message

As first I thought, "How low can they go?" But then after reading the article I see that this is an improvement of sorts. When the bar is that low, even this is an improvement.

Women in Saudi Arabia divorced by their husbands will now be sent a text message to inform them of their new status. The move is designed to stop the practice of men ending marriages without telling their wives.

I didn't know this was a thing in Saudi Arabia.

Quote:

The Saudi courts started to send such notifications Sunday in "a step aimed at protecting the rights of female clients, and enhancing digital transformation with more services," the country's Ministry of Justice said in a statement. The message will include the divorce certificate number and the name of the relevant court where the women can pick up the documentation. Women can also inquire about their marital status through a website and view details of any probate certificates.

But what is an inch when they have miles to go?
