Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 522

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

English translation of the principle

An obedience action differs in its subject matter and cause from an action for judicial divorce on grounds of harm. The implication thereof: a judgment ordering the wife to enter into obedience to her husband on account of her disobedience is not conclusive as to the very harm she alleges in the action for judicial divorce on grounds of harm.
Arabic original
دعوى الطاعة تختلف في موضوعها وسببها عن دعوى التطليق للضرر. مؤدى ذلك: أن الحكم الصادر بدخول الزوجة في طاعة زوجها لنشوزها لا يكون حاسماً في نفس ما تدعيه من مضارة في دعوى التطليق للضرر.
