Court Of Appeals Overturned The Ruling Of The First Instance Court In Divorce Case

The Personal Status Section in the Court of Appeals overturned the ruling of the First Instance Court that obligated a citizen to pay KD 10,000 to his exwife as deferred dowry. The citizen’s lawyer, Attorney Muhammad Al-Qattan, pointed out in court that his client divorced his wife as per her request. He argued the decision of the First Instance Court was issued in absentia, indicating his client did not receive notifications about the court sessions so he had no opportunity to defend himself. Al-Qattan asserted that since the woman requested for divorce, it means she gave up all her financial rights including the deferred dowry. He added the decision of the First Instance Court was incorrect. The higher court ruled in favor of the citizen after looking into the arguments and pieces of evidence presented by both sides.
