KUWAIT CITY, July 27: A domestic dispute took a dramatic legal turn in Kuwait after an expatriate man accused his wife and mother-in-law of being “scammers” in official court documents, allegedly to prove he had been deceived during their 15-year marriage.

According to security sources, the case began when the wife, a 1989-born expatriate woman, filed a complaint at the Hawally  Police Station accusing her husband—born in 1971—of slander and defamation. She claimed he submitted documents to the Hawally Court describing her and her mother as members of a “scammer family,” citing name similarities with others involved in fraudulent activities.

The matter was referred to Hawally detectives, who summoned the husband for questioning. During the interrogation, he was confronted with both his wife’s accusations and the documents he had submitted in court.

Faced with the evidence, the man confessed to making the claims, citing ongoing family disputes and financial pressures as his motivation. He admitted that the allegations were rooted in personal conflict rather than actual fraud. Authorities are continuing to review the case for further legal action.
