Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 404

An action to establish marriage. The rule is that it is not heard in the event of denial. The exception. Its establishment by an official document or acknowledgment of marriage in official papers. Unless the action is the basis for an independent filiation action or filiation through which another right is sought. Failure of that to obtain. Its consequence is that the marriage action is regarded as inadmissible and a ruling is issued declining to hear the action. The import of that: this plea concerns public policy. The reason for that: to manifest the dignity of the marriage contract and keep it removed from denial. Example.
