I have a question about this that I read in Wikipedia's Princess Basma's page, it says: "Basma's father became King of Jordan two months after she was born as a result of the assassination in Jerusalem of her grandfather King Abdullah I. However, Talal was forced to abdicate as King for health reasons in 1952, when Basma was one year old. He lived on until 1972. Her mother was Queen Zein (1916–1994). After her father's abdication, her older brother King Hussein (1935–1999) ascended the throne, and her mother was Queen Regent until Hussein came of age in 1953."
A woman can be regent in the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan?
