Article 84 of Kuwaiti Penal Code

English translation

If a person commits several offences for a single purpose such that they are indivisibly connected with one another, no penalty other than that prescribed for the most serious of them shall be imposed. If a single act constitutes multiple offences, the offence carrying the most severe penalty shall be taken into account, and that penalty alone shall be imposed. If a person commits several offences outside the two preceding cases, multiple penalties shall be imposed upon him.
Arabic original
إذا ارتكب شخص جملة جرائم لغرض واحد بحيث ارتبطت بعضها ببعض ارتباطا لا يقبل التجزئة، وجب ألا يحكم بغير العقوبة المقررة لأشدها. وإذا كون الفعل الواحد جرائم متعددة، وجب اعتبار الجريمة التي عقوبتها اشد والحكم بهذه العقوبة دون غيرها. وإذا ارتكب شخص جملة جرائم في غير الحالتين السابقتين، تعددت العقوبات التي يحكم بها عليه.
