Kuwait has taken legal action to revoke the nationality of three women. The decision marks another step in Kuwait’s citizenship policy, which allows such action under specific legal grounds. The Supreme Committee for Citizenship Investigation announced the revocations through two official decisions.
Both rulings appeared in the appendix of the Official Gazette, Al-Kuwait Al-Youm. The decisions followed legal procedures based on Articles 10 and 11 of Amiri Decree No. 15 of 1959. This law, along with its amendments, gives the state the right to withdraw citizenship in certain cases.
The announcements included no personal details about the women or the reasons for their citizenship removal. As is common in similar decisions, the official text avoided identifying individuals or explaining circumstances.
Legal experts say the government can revoke citizenship if a person obtains it through fraud or acts against national interests. However, authorities did not confirm if either reason applied here.
Kuwait has used its citizenship laws in several cases over the past decade. These actions reflect the country’s effort to regulate and enforce nationality rules. Officials say these steps support legal consistency and protect the integrity of national identity.
Kuwait’s citizenship policy continues to draw attention from both local and international observers. While the law gives the state full authority over nationality matters, some human rights organizations have urged for more transparency and clear public communication when such measures are taken.
The lack of detailed explanation in the official announcement leaves questions unanswered. However, the legal foundation appears to follow established procedures. Kuwait has stated in past cases that every revocation goes through thorough legal review before final approval.
In many cases, those affected by revocation have the right to appeal or request a review. But this often depends on the legal grounds cited and the specifics of each case. Authorities have not released further information about possible legal options available to the three women involved in this latest decision.
Kuwait’s citizenship policy plays a central role in shaping national demographics and regulating legal status within the country. As laws continue to be enforced, observers will closely watch future decisions and their social impact.
