Legal_system_of_Kuwait
Kuwait follows the "civil law system" modeled after the French legal system,[1][2][3] Kuwait's legal system is largely secular.[4][5][6][7] Sharia law governs only family law for Muslim residents,[5][8] while non-Muslims in Kuwait have a secular family law. For the application of family law, there are three separate court sections: Sunni (Maliki), Shia, and non-Muslim. According to the United Nations, Kuwait's legal system is a mix of English common law, French civil law, Egyptian civil law and Islamic law.[9]
The court system in Kuwait is secular.[10][11] Unlike other Arab states of the Persian Gulf, Kuwait does not have Sharia courts.[11] Sections of the civil court system administer family law.[11] Kuwait has the most secular commercial law in the Gulf.[12]
