Trivia:

Former sister-in-law, Swiss-Iranian Carmen Bin Ladin, published "The Veiled Kingdom" (2004) and "Inside the Kingdom" (2005) about her experiences in Saudi-Arabian society. Having married into the bin Laden family in 1974, she returned to her native Switzerland in 1985 in order to spare her daughters the restrictive and oppressive practices she'd experienced as a female in Saudi culture.
