Una buena

Kuwaitis from different walks of life welcomed a historic decision ruled by the Constitutional Court yesterday, the country's highest tribunal panel, to grant Kuwaiti women the right to obtain a passport without obtaining the prior consent of their parents, husbands or guardians.
The court's decision refutes the Article in the existing Personal Status Law that bans women from getting a passport without the approval of their guardians.
The court's decision was interpreted by a section of people interviewed by the Kuwait Times as a historic victory for Kuwaiti women and women's rights activists.
They have been seeking to amend a number of Articles in the law, as many challenged the constitutionality of such articles.
Some Kuwaitis surveyed believe that the court sentence serves the interest of Kuwaiti women by putting them on an equal footing with their fellow men.
The court should have ruled on this issue a long time ago as women have already obtained the right to vote and run for office in Parliament.
Women constitute half of the society and they should have a say in shaping the country's internal and external policy, 32-year-old Kuwaiti Khalid Ahmed told the Kuwait Times.
He added that it would be unfair for women to assume that they cannot handle the responsibility of getting a passport or to travel abroad on their own and independently from their parents.
'So basically I think its natural development that should have taken place before', Khalid lamented.
