13 November 2018 Crime News

In a strange case, the Family Court of First Instance nullified the marriage contract of a Kuwaiti couple prior to the consummation of the marriage after it was proven that the groom is the bride’s foster uncle.

The counsel to the bride Lawyer Ayed Al-Rasheedi said his client had signed the marriage contract with the man.

Prior to the consummation of their marriage, it was discovered that the groom is forbidden to engage in sexual intercourse with her based on evidences provided by an aged woman who claimed to have breastfed the groom as well as the bride’s mother.

The court referred to fatwa No. 293H/2011, because the old woman declared that she breast-fed the groom and the bride’s mother together more than five times, which thereby makes the bride the groom’s foster niece
