Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1163

It is impermissible to combine the dwelling itself and its rent in cash at the same time. The general rule is performance of the obligation in kind. Provision of the dwelling by the person liable for maintenance. Its implication. He may not be compelled to pay its rent in cash. The reason therefor. The need of the maintenance beneficiary to secure shelter ceases upon performance of the obligation in kind. Combining the original obligation and its cash equivalent. Unjust enrichment. The husband—the appellant—relying on what the inspection established concerning his preparation of a suitable dwelling for his wife and children. The challenged judgment's failure to scrutinize this defense constitutes deficient reasoning.
