Kuwait Court Dismisses Malicious Defamation, Domestic Violence Claims in Custody Dispute
Kuwait Court

KUWAIT CITY, Dec 1: The Public Prosecution has decided to dismiss the charges of public defamation and domestic violence in the case filed by a man against his ex-wife, who has custody of their children. The Public Prosecution emphasized that some domestic violence cases are being exploited by certain individuals despite the clear absence of the elements of a crime.

The victim’s defense counsel Lawyer Hawra Al-Habib stated that she attended the investigations and confirmed that the complaint was intended to harm her client after she won custody and alimony cases, in addition to other malicious claims such as child neglect. Lawyer Al-Habib questioned the mindset of those who view the court as a field for achieving personal victories rather than obtaining legal rights. She also noted that the Public Prosecution’s decision included a warning against the misuse of the right to file a report or complaint without valid grounds.
