Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 354

A man's harming and harassing his wife—in the Ja'fari school—without lawful Sharia grounds. The wife may bring her matter before the Sharia judge to prevent harm and injustice and compel the husband to live with her honourably or release her graciously. The husband's refusal of both courses. Its effect. The Sharia judge may divorce her from him. Import thereof. The judge's authority to grant divorce arises only upon the husband's disobedience and refusal of both aforementioned courses together. Fulfilment of only one of them. The judge has no such authority. - 72 - Procedure Judgments - 73 - Procedure - 74 - Procedure Judgments - Meaning and nature of a judgment:-
