KUWAIT CITY, Aug 28: The Family Court dismissed nearly 50 lawsuits filed by a Kuwaiti citizen against his ex-wife, who had requested a divorce. The court granted her request and awarded her compensation after it became clear that they couldn't reconcile. The plaintiff’s defense counsel Lawyer Hawra Al- Habib said, “It is unfortunate that some individuals have started using the courts as a tool for seeking revenge rather than seeking justice. They view litigation as a battleground rather than a means of resolving disputes.

Some go to great lengths to see their opponents in court, even when it is unnecessary, with the primary goal of settling scores, regardless of the time and money invested in the process.” She highlighted that her client is preparing to file lawsuits for huge civil compensation because her ex-husband misused the judicial system to harass her with many insults and overwhelm the courts with a large volume of cases. Lawyer Al-Habib concluded by stating, “Courts are not meant for revenge. Everyone must respect judicial rulings. Misusing the law for personal vendettas will result in the law being used against those who abuse it, burdening both the public and the judiciary.”
