Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 466

Divorce takes effect when pronounced by any sane, adult husband acting voluntarily and aware of what he says, using words customarily explicit for it. It does not take effect through written wording except with intention. The law does not address how the occurrence of divorce is proved. Its necessary consequence. Recourse in this respect to the predominant view in the school of Imam Malik. Article 343 of Law 51 of 1984. Proof of divorce of a woman whose husband has died, under the school of Imam Malik, is by his acknowledgment thereof before his death and by Sharia evidence consisting of the testimony of two upright men. Example.
