marriage certificate needed?
I have a thai girlfirend who lives and works in kuwait. I 'm visiting kuwait for a few days and would like to see her while i'm there. I've been told that many hotels require a marriage certificate if she stays with me. Is this true? Is there anyway around it?
Caucasion Women in Kuwait
Hi,
I'm sorry to ask this question in this forum - but there is seriously a lack of forums in regards to Kuwait and the status of women.
I'm thinking of moving to Kuwait, and I dont think as a male I'm going to have too many problems there, except for the lack of booze and (judging from the lack of posts in this forum) cheap women!
Ok so maybe it is a problem!
However, I'm a little unclear as to the status of women in Kuwait. I'm reading conflicting reports in this regards. From my research, I've gathered that they are free to do most things, like work, drive, walk alone, etc. I've read that they have to dress a little more conservatively than say in Dubai, but its not overly restrictive - just no low cut tees or bikinis in the mall!
My question(s) - I'm not married to my girlfriend and I'm just curious as to what the status is about living together in the same apartment? Also, I'm reading reports that if i'm pulled over by the police whilst driving with her, it is likely that they will ask me for a marriage certificate? I'm asian and my partner is caucasion - is that going to raise a few eyebrows over there? Are ppl going to think that she is some CIS WG? Or will they mistake me for a PRC WGuy? ;-)
Thanks for your help on this matter.
Kuwait surprise - duplicate Dubai report
I've not been on for a few days as I've been away in Kuwait on business, lucky Zing I hear you yell. But wait, there was a surprise. I was in my hotel room on te second day in the middle of the day just doing some work on my laptop. There's a knock on the door and its the chambermaid come to tidy my room.
"On you go" I say, not really thinking anything. As she was cleaning we started some general chit-chat, she comes from Sri Lanka, been in Kuwait a couple of years blah blah blah. Anyway, still not thinking anything we shoot some small talk.
After a while she pick a cup up from the desk I'd used for a cup of tea. "Don't worry about washing it, there's another" I say. "But you may have a friend come visit you so you need two" come the reply. I think she genuinely meant this is a funny reply but being quick to see an opening (no pun intended) I ask her half-joking if she would like to come and visit me for a cup of tea. The conversation shot back and forward, she wasn't a stunner and a little bit on the big side for me (I like spinners) but not too bad and I was in Kuwait.
By this time my old man starting to pay attention so he decided we should really go for it so I told her I was serious and if she came back when she finished her shift we could have a cup of tea and some fun, laughing, I told her I promised not to tell. After a few minutes I managed to get her to promise to come back later when she had a free hour. And back she came in the evening. To cut a long story short she ended up earning a little extra overtime pay (slipped into her pocket, she wasn't a WG but I'm sure appreciated a small gift). She was a decided 5 all round in looks and performance but was a very nice girl who spoke excellent English and we enjoyed a couple of hours together. The best part was her being shy at the beginning as it kicked off. Can't say I find my usual PRC's shy!
I was in Kuwait for a further two days and she came to visit me again on both days although the last evening we had no time for anything other than a kiss and cuddle but she was really sweet. I have promise to stay in the same hotel the next time I go there so finally Kuwait is sorted.
