The car was burned at dawn on Sunday in one of Mecca's villages. A video on the social media showed that the car was burning with the sound of a woman's crying.
The woman cried that a group of her male neighbours intentionally burned her car as the village was against the recent decision to allow women to drive.

Despite the ban, many women are expected to face some difficulties by the conservative members of the male-dominated society.
