KUWAIT CITY, May 24: The Cassation Court has overturned previous rulings by both the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal, affirming that a Kuwaiti woman has the legal right to take all necessary steps to obtain a title deed for a disputed property, on equal terms with her ex-husband.

In its ruling, the Court confirmed that documentation showed the property in question had been jointly allocated to both the appellant (the woman) and the first respondent (her former husband) in 2003. An official letter sent to the relevant authority at the time clearly stated that the title deed should be issued in the names of both spouses.

Representing the appellant, Attorney Hawra Al-Habib argued that the respondent’s refusal to proceed with the title issuance amounted to an abuse of legal rights. She maintained that the earlier rulings were flawed and requested that they be set aside.

Al-Habib emphasized that marital status at the time of allocation is the key factor in determining co-ownership rights (regardless of any subsequent changes in the relationship), provided all legal conditions are met. She asserted that deviating from this principle undermines the legal framework for establishing ownership rights.

The Court ultimately agreed, restoring the woman’s equal entitlement to the property.

KUWAIT CITY, July 12: Personnel from Al Waha Police Station have referred two expatriates to the Deportation Center after confirming they had consumed locally brewed alcohol, and they were completely drunk and unable to stand or walk. Both individuals, who hold Domestic Visa (Article 20) residency permits, will be added to the blacklist of individuals banned from re-entering Kuwait.

According to a security source, a Kuwaiti citizen reported the incident to the Ministry of Interior after noticing the two men sitting across from his residence for an extended period at a late hour. Upon approaching them to inquire about their presence, he found them in a highly disoriented and intoxicated state. Although they attempted to flee, they were unable to walk, let alone run.

Public Security officers responded to the report and dispatched a patrol unit to the scene. The two expatriates were apprehended and later admitted to consuming locally produced liquor.

KUWAIT CITY, July 12: Hawally detectives have referred a case involving alleged threats and attempted arson to the Public Prosecution after both parties maintained their conflicting accounts during the investigation.

According to case details, classified as a misdemeanor, a Kuwaiti citizen born in 1989 filed a complaint on May 27, accusing another Kuwaiti citizen, born in 1970, of attempting to set him and a boat on fire. The plaintiff claimed the defendant poured gasoline on the boat—and on him—before trying to ignite it.

However, during questioning, the defendant admitted to pouring gasoline but denied any intent to harm. He stated that his purpose was merely to clean the boat, not to set it ablaze.

A security source noted that the detectives’ report supported the defendant’s version of events, concluding there was no clear evidence of intent to burn the victim or the vessel.
