Legal System in Kuwait
The State of Kuwait follows the civil law
system or what is commonly known as the Latin system. The
historical origins of Kuwaiti Law are from the Egyptian and
French codes. Article 2 of the Constitution provides that
Islamic Sharia forms a major source of law. It is not however
the exclusive source. Therefore, it is not essential for a
law to be totally in conformity with Islamic Sharia in order
for it to be constitutional.
