Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to examine the views of jurists and Kuwaiti personal status law regarding the adaptation of marital contracts and how it affects the wife's medical expenses. Specifically, the study aims to determine if the husband is responsible for reimbursing these costs in case of such adaptation.

Methods: Using inductive and analytical methodologies, the study adopts a comparative approach to investigate the juristic opinions and legal provisions of personal status legislation.

Results Many jurists consider marriage contract as a commutative contract, but not in its commercial sense. However, their juristic interpretations are –consistently- linked to commutative contract due to the presence of the (dowry) as a value in the contract. Few jurists, in accordance with Kuwaiti personal status law, regard the marriage contract as a separate contract that does not resemble a commutative contract. According to the study, those who regard the marriage contract as a commutative contract do not think it essential for the husband to support his wife's medical expenses because he is not required to contribute money for body preservation. Those who see it as a separate contract believe the husband is obligated to do so as part of decent companionship.

Conclusions: The study finds that the marriage contract looks like commutative contract, but not in its commercial sense. The similarity lies in the presence of dowry in marriage contract. This contract is challenged jurists. The study recommends analyzing the personal status laws of different countries and comparing that with the jurists' opinions.
