KUWAIT CITY, Oct 24: Lawyer Alaa Al-Saeedi criticized the immoral behavior of some individuals who engage in family disputes by filing malicious lawsuits against their relatives, reports Al-Seyassah Daily. She warned that such actions contribute to increased domestic violence and family disintegration, calling for solutions to preserve family and societal stability. Al-Saeedi highlighted a recent Misdemeanor Court ruling in which three of her clients were acquitted of malicious “domestic violence” claims filed by their relatives with the intent of causing harm. She presented evidence to the court that demonstrated the baselessness of these allegations. One case involved a citizen falsely accused by his son-in-law of assaulting his grandson, with the ulterior motive of removing custody from the child’s mother, who resides in her father’s home.

Another acquittal concerned a woman wrongfully accused of assaulting her mother over an inheritance dispute. A third case saw a mother cleared of claims made by her ex-husband, who alleged she deprived him of visitation rights, despite evidence that she regularly took their children to the visitation center, where they refused to see him due to his abusive behavior. Al-Saeedi emphasized that the judiciary remains vigilant in recognizing malicious lawsuits and ensuring justice is served while urging families to resolve their disputes amicably to avoid escalation and unnecessary legal battles.
