I would like to know about the validity of the marriage of people holding Article 20 in Kuwait here. If these people are legally married in their home countries with valid documents legalized by the foreign affairs structures of their home countries. What do Kuwait’s laws say about these people?

Name withheld

Answer: With valid and attested documentation as put out by you your marriage will be recognized by the laws of Kuwait in as much as these documents from your country are also attested to by your embassy here and the Kuwait Foreign Ministry Annexe in Shuwaikh.

We must point out that even though your marriage will be recognized, in the event of you having a baby here you will have to send the baby out of Kuwait within six months of the baby’s delivery.

This is so because under Kuwaiti Law people under Visa 20 are not allowed to sponsor their children on dependent visa.
