Where I grew up in Yemen, we do not have a nightlife club because men and women are forbidden from mingling in daytime, let alone nighttime.

Yemen has a strict, conservative culture that maintains some of the most arcane gender norms and rules. Growing up, I did not talk to girls because they were out of sight. They are hidden in the house, and when they appear in public, they are with a guardian, and covered in a Black uniform from head to toe.

In fact, in the past five years, few women and men in Yemen were stoned to death, under charges of sinful adultery.
