Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 342

The challenged judgment's rejection of the defence that the maternal grandmother's right to bring the action—claiming custody—had lapsed because more than 1 year had passed since she learned of her daughter's marriage to a person not within the prohibited degrees of kinship to the child in custody, on the ground that this defence is prescribed solely for the benefit of the person holding the child in custody, and no other, although the provision was general and unqualified. A violation and error in applying the law requiring its cassation. - 73 - Law
