Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 347

The challenged judgment’s rejection of the plea that the maternal grandmother’s right to bring the action seeking custody had lapsed because more than a year had elapsed from the date she learned of her daughter’s marriage to a person who was not a mahram to the child in custody, on the assertion that this plea was prescribed exclusively for the benefit of the person holding the child in custody and no other, although the provision was general and unrestricted. A violation and misapplication of the law requiring its cassation.
