Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1411

The general rule regarding divorce attributed to the past is that it takes effect from the time the husband admits it, without qualification. Confirmation of the admitting husband's attribution of the divorce to an earlier date extinguishes only the wife's right to maintenance. Her waiting period begins from the time of notification or admission, not the time to which it is attributed. The judgment's departure from this. Its effect. Its partial cassation.
