KUWAIT CITY, March 15: The Court of Appeal ruled to revoke a mother's custody of her son due to her past use of marijuana, which occurred 10 years ago. The appellant, the child's father, appeared before the court and disclosed that his ex-wife had been using cannabis since 2015. He admitted to having recorded evidence of drug paraphernalia during their marriage but chose not to expose her at the time, keeping the videos hidden throughout that period. However, after the respondent filed a lawsuit to confirm her custody of their only son, the father presented the video recordings as evidence, which exposed her dishonesty. The appellant's lawyer, Mustafa Mulla Youssef, defended the case, arguing that despite the incident being dated and involving past drug use, it demonstrated the mother's abnormal behavior and raised concerns about her trustworthiness in maintaining custody of her son.
