KUWAIT CITY, April 17: Nationality investigators continue to unearth hidden truths, bringing to light cases that forgers once believed were safely buried in official files.

One such case dates back to the early 1990s, involving a Kuwaiti woman who married a Gulf national and had a son. Rather than following the legal route, she allegedly engaged in a scheme of forgery and deception involving her newborn child.

The child's father, a Gulf national, obtained legitimate documents for the boy in his home country so the child could enjoy the rights and benefits granted there.
Meanwhile, the mother conspired with her own Kuwaiti father to falsely register the boy as his biological son—essentially making the child her brother on paper. This allowed the boy to fraudulently obtain Kuwaiti citizenship, giving him dual nationality and full access to privileges in both countries under false identities.

Young man, now an adult, received his education in Kuwait, earned a degree in engineering, married a Kuwaiti woman, and secured a job in a government ministry—all while benefiting from dual citizenship acquired through forgery. The Supreme Committee has since ruled to revoke his Kuwaiti citizenship, along with that of his five children, who also obtained it through fraudulent means.
