The issuance of the ministerial decision amending certain provisions of the Housing Care Law represents a well-deserved step in favor of Kuwaiti women, as the amendment aims to safeguard the wife’s right to housing and ensure her stability, which was previously contingent upon family circumstances. Previously, the outcome of the state’s housing services for newlyweds would automatically accrue to the husband, with the property ownership document registered solely in his name. Under this arrangement, the wife’s housing rights were dependent on circumstances such as divorce; if she was not the custodial parent, she had no entitlement to remain in the home. This situation often resulted in unfair consequences for the wife, forcing her to return to her parental home or move between the homes of her siblings in many cases. This situation persisted for many years until the legislator recently recognized the severity of its impact on family stability, prompting an amendment to the Housing Care Law that grants the wife the right to request the inclusion of her name on the property document once electricity is connected to the plot. However, prior to the amendment, the wife’s actual ownership status remained unresolved, as she had to wait years for the final property document to be issued after the completion of construction and electricity connection, with no guarantee during that period of her right to housing in the event of changes in family circumstances, such as divorce, the husband’s death, or other family developments. Under the new amendment, the wife’s right to property ownership is guaranteed as soon as the family receives the housing allocation, regardless of any subsequent family changes. In my view, this amendment eliminates the previous discrimination and marginalization of the wife’s role in property ownership. A woman’s right to housing and ownership is now secured from the moment the housing allocation is granted, legally protecting her against the potential loss of residence due to divorce or other circumstances. Additionally, the amendment reduces procedural complexities, as the wife is no longer required to submit additional applications or wait long periods to assert her rights in the ownership document. This enhancement reinforces social justice, affirms the wife’s role as an equal partner in the family with enforceable rights, and establishes the principle that residential and family stability is a fundamental right for every Kuwaiti woman. Ultimately, we hope that this amendment marks the beginning of further modifications to the law or its regulations, as needed, to achieve qualitative development in the housing care system, ensuring the rights of all parties and strengthening the state’s commitment to the family as the foundation of society, thereby allowing all beneficiaries of housing care to benefit from these improvements.
