Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 53

The final and conclusive judgment granting the female respondent a single irrevocable divorce from the appellant on grounds of harm and obliging him to satisfy her rights arising from marriage and judicial divorce, on the basis of its application of Kuwaiti law—the law of the forum—although both parties are Saudi nationals, because they did not prove Saudi law, without its operative part or reasons containing the applicability of Kuwaiti law to these rights, specifying them, or listing them exhaustively. It has no res judicata effect in respect of these rights. The reason and basis thereof. Departure from this. Requires cassation of the judgment.
