A historic first step as 8 Kuwaiti women to be appointed as judges
Attorney General Dirar Al Asousi has approved the
promotion of eight female prosecutors
Kuwaiti Attorney General, Dirar Al Asousi, approved the promotion of eight female prosecutors to the rank of judge, among some 54 chiefs prosecutors, who were nominated for judicial positions.
They will become the first eight women judges in the history of Kuwait and the Kuwait’s Supreme Judicial Council is set to be held on Tuesday to approve their appointment and start work from September.
The eight women are Sanabil Al Houti, Bashayer Al Raqdan, Rua’a Al Tabtabai, Bashayer Abduljalil, Fatima Abdulmimin, Lolwa Alghanim, Fatima al Farhan and Fatima Al Kandari.
Speaker of the National Assembly, Marzouq Ali Al Ghanem, said, “the rise of Kuwaiti women to the judiciary platform, is a long-awaited entitlement, and a step forward in the march of Kuwaiti women.”
He added on his Twitter account, “A thousand greetings to Kuwaiti women, as they accumulated successes over the years in all fields.” He expressed his confidence in the ability of Kuwaiti women to prove their efficiency, as they have done in many other areas.
Move opposed
But Mohammad Haif, secretary-general of the Thawabit Al Umma Salafi bloc, denounced the move and said the judiciary is a general mandate that only men can assume.
He said on the Salafi bloc’s Twitter account that the appointment of women in the judiciary “is not commensurate with the composition or nature of women, nor is it compatible with the true Sharia.”
Haif added that “rushing to issue a decision without a legal opinion supporting it, appointing women as judges, would be against the law and contradicts the nature of women, and would open the door to appeal against the rulings issued by female judges, and litigants may demand they be disqualified, which would disrupt the judicial system and embarrass the Judicial Council”.
He went on, “We draw the attention of the brothers, members of the Judicial Council, before agreeing to the memorandum submitted by the Attorney General to transfer prosecutors to judges, that this issue is not that easy, and it has legal, social and judicial consequences that must be thoroughly studied, and Islamic law history should be consulted before embarking on this step, which carries a lot of questions.”
For his part, MP Khaled Al Otaibi said, “The judiciary is a branch of the Great Islamic Imamate, and it is not permissible for a woman to assume it.” As for MP Majid Al Mutairi, he argued, “How can (a woman) judge rule on the divorce of women while she does not have the right to divorce herself?”
Kuwait is not the first among the GCC countries to appoint women to the judiciary, as the UAE appointed Kholoud Ahmad Jaouan Al Dhaheri, to be the first Emirati and Gulf judge in March 2008.
On March 11, 2010, Qatar appointed Sheikha Maha Mansour Salman Jasim Al Thani, assistant judge in the Qatari courts, the first woman to be appointed to the judiciary in Qatar.
In July 2010, Bahrain appointed three female judges, two of them were appointed to the Lower Civil Court, namely: Mai Matar and Noura Al Midfa, while Adela Hassan was appointed as a judge of the Civil High Court.
On March 20, 2019, the UAE appointed two additional female judges in the federal judiciary, Judge Khadija Al Malas and Judge Salama Al Ketbi. Al Malas was appointed to the position of “Appeals Judge”, and Al Ketbi in the position of “Primary Judge” in the federal courts.

Kuwait welcomes back Amir ( Message from the H.E. Shamir Ally, Guyana Ambassador to the State of Kuwait.
KUWAIT: His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah will return to Kuwait today. He will be returning from the United States of America where he has undergone successful medical checkups. His Highness the Amir has recovered from a health setback and is ‘in a good condition now’, the state news agency reported. He was admitted for a normal medical checkup.
Meanwhile, His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah had sent a cable to His Highness the Amir, in which he congratulated him on the successful medical checkups. His Highness the Crown Prince also wished His Highness the Amir good health.
According to the World Bank report, Kuwait is “one of the richest countries where practically there is no extreme poverty and no forced unemployment, reports Al-Rai daily.
“The country enjoys strong foreign financial assets, with financial reserves estimated at 465 percent of gross domestic product. On the other hand, the report pointed out that expatriates “represent two-thirds of the population in the country,” considering that “the bulk of them form the low-income segment,” noting “there are more concerns faced by expatriate workers, including nonpayment of wages, or delay in addition to the difficult working conditions and fears of harassment.”
The report pointed out that “18 percent of the total population lives below income level of half the average.” The report also pointed out that the “decline in oil prices in the past years, led to a significant decline in liquidity reserves,” while at the same time there have been “more withdrawals from the General Reserve Fund may erode the reserves.
Kuwait’s remittances rose by 3.9 percent year-on-year in the last year. Workers’ remittances in Kuwait last year, according to Central Bank data, were KD 4.3 billion, compared to KD 4.1 billion in 2017. The highest value of second-quarter remittances was KD 1.19 billion, while the lowest transfers in the first quarter were KD 1.03 billion.
