Of course in Qatar some of your rights are restricted. You cannot live together with your boyfriend. In most of the cases, You cannot be admitted to the hotel with the man who is not your husband. You cannot smoke in the street. You cannot drive the car with any level of alcohol in your blood, except of ‘zero'. you cannot have an extra part time job
I am sure you normally take for granted the freedom of leaving the country any time you want... forget about it in Qatar… you will need your sponsor’s permission for it..
I would re-phrase your statement: Qatar is a modern country when it comes to…towers and other construction creatures…
Laws? I doubt it.
