A Mother In Kuwait Has Lost The Custody Of Her Children
A mother in Kuwait has lost the custody of her children after she was accused of spending hours smoking shisha outside her home, says Gulf News.
The Family Court said that evidence shows that the mother devoted a lot of her time to smoking shisha, a fact that affected her health and made her socially unfit to raise her children and look after their wellbeing, Kuwaiti daily Al Qabas reported on Thursday.
The court insisted that the prolonged shisha smoking was legal ground enough to remove the custody amid concerns that the children would not be given an appropriate upbringing and education. Some legal experts said that the legal ground could be used in cases filed by unhappy mothers against their former husbands since they, too, spend long hours smoking shishas outside their home.
The experts argued the court should uphold the principle in all cases regardless of gender found guilty of negligence towards children or of putting their lives at risk because of heavy smoking. However, they added that no mother has so far raised the heavysmoking argument in any custody case.
Lawyers told the daily that some wives wanted to obtain divorce and resorted to heavy smoking in order to force their husbands to file for the end of their union. They added that some mothers lost custody cases after husbands saw private pictures of their spouses on social media.
