Women are still not considered their own legal person in Saudi Arabia. While this is progress, for sure, this upgrades the position of women from outright slaves (perhaps comparable to the legal status of a dog or other pet in the west), and this doesn't change that.
In sharia/islam, women are the legal property (effectively, not "in legal theory") of their "guardian". When they're married (yes I'm using the passive, they don't get to pick when, where & to whom after all) that becomes their husband. They have full legal authority over them.
In fact they have less rights than a dog has in the West: in legal theory, you cannot legally just abandon a dog in the west, but you can just abandon a woman, even if you're her guardian, in Saudi Arabia.
