A Kuwaiti woman has filed a lawsuit against her husband after she donated her kidney to him, only for him to physically abuse her and marry another woman.
The woman is now seeking divorce and financial compensation after literally giving a part of herself to her husband.
"Marrying another woman alone is not grounds for divorce, but when a wife gives her husband a part of her body (her kidney), the very organ that keeps him alive, and then he turns around and beats her, it breaks her heart and makes living together impossible," her lawyer, Hawra Al Habib, said of the case.
Al Habib confirmed that they will be demanding compensation for the physical, emotional, and psychological trauma the wife has endured.
"The relationship has been insulted and degraded. One party offered loyalty and selflessness, while the other responded with betrayal and cruelty. Some couples manage to rebuild after separation, but no relationship can survive when one partner is insulted for no reason," Al Habib added.
