Asylum in Spain or America?
In Saudi Arabia, women must have male guardians to travel far away and get on planes. If a Saudi Woman (over 18) were to travel to Spain with her family and then “run away” from them, if she had the money and passport, would she be able to buy a plane ticket and fly to America? I know adult women in Spain have their rights and can travel themselves, but would the same rules apply to her, or would she still need a male guardian because of being a Saudi Citizen?

Once in Spain, an adult Saudi woman is free to board a plane by herself to any destination as long as she has the proper documents (valid passport and visa if required). However, if she continues on to the US, she won't be able to claim asylum here because the UN Hague Convention gives her the right to apply in the first safe country reached, which in her case, would be Spain. If she tries in the US, and her case is denied, she'll be sent back to Saudi Arabia.
