Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 224

The legal basis for claiming dower and the wife's maintenance is a valid marriage contract. The action is valued at their combined amount. Continuing maintenance is of indeterminate value. Judgments awarding it may be appealed regardless of its amount. Its implication: an award of dower may be appealed regardless of its value so long as it was claimed together with maintenance. A judgment departing from this. An error in applying the law - 363 - Personal Status requiring its partial cassation.
