Three women stripped of Kuwaiti citizenship over dual nationality
Kuwait revokes the citizenship of three women for holding dual nationalities.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 4: In a series of legal actions, three women have lost their Kuwaiti citizenship due to holding dual nationality, according to two decisions published in a special supplement of the Official Gazette, 'Kuwait Today'.

The first decision, based on Article 10 of the Kuwaiti Nationality Law, resulted in the revocation of one woman's Kuwaiti citizenship. The second decision, referencing Article 11 of the same law, led to the stripping of citizenship from two other women for holding additional nationalities.

These decisions reflect the enforcement of Kuwait's strict regulations regarding dual citizenship, under which individuals found to possess multiple nationalities can face the loss of their Kuwaiti citizenship.

The Ministry of Interior, which oversees nationality matters, did not immediately comment on the specific cases. However, the legal framework for such decisions is clearly outlined in the Kuwaiti Nationality Law, which aims to preserve the integrity of the country's citizenship regulations.
