Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 48

State of Kuwait · Personal Status · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

A judgment's statement in its grounds that the Hanbali school governs the dispute because both spouses are Saudi nationals. It does not conflict with its superfluous statement that the position adopted by Kuwaiti law regarding the action accords with that same school. A challenge on that basis. Inadmissible.
Arabic original
إفصاح الحكم في أسبابه أن المذهب الحنبلي هو الذي يحكم النزاع باعتبار أن الزوجين سعوديان. لا يتعارض مع ما أورده تزيداً من أن ما أخذ به القانون الكويتي بشأن الدعوى يتفق مع ذات المذهب. النعي على ذلك. غير مقبول.
