With regard to the article "Why can't married Saudi women apply for a home loan?" (Feb. 20), the law is unjust to women. Everyone knows this. It is not merely the housing law; it is the divorce law, the employment law, all areas of law. Fatima, Online response Having your name on a home loan does not decrease the divorce rate. If a woman's name is on the loan, it makes her liable for one-half of the payment. Does she have the income to support the payment? Does she have the income to buy out her soon to be ex-husband if a divorce is in their future? Can she continue to make payments? The loan process should be equal as far as who is financially able to sustain the loan is concerned, not the gender of the applicant. Elizabeth Hansen, Online response
