Abstract
|
|
| Art. 14 of this law allows for including the wife and children of a Kuwaiti national in his passport.
Art. 15 prohibits issuing an independent passport to the wife of a Kuwaiti national without her husband’s consent. Constitutional Court Verdict No. 256 of 2008 pronounced this article unconstitutional.[1]
Art. 17 allows for issuing non-Kuwaitis working for the government a Kuwaiti passport in order to enable them carry out their duties abroad if needed.
A non-Kuwaiti woman married to a Kuwaiti national may be issued a passport upon her husband’s request if they have been married for five years and she has not been convicted of an honor-related or security-related crime. The Minister of Interior is to determine the conditions for receiving the passport.
