From the long series we like to call "Great moments in Middle Eastern Jurisprudence"

In a report about how the Kuwaiti Parliament might be about to ban the bikini, we get his story:
This week, a mother in Kuwait lost the custody of her children after her ex-husband showed the court a picture of her wearing a bikini and standing with an unrelated man on a beach in another country to argue she was not fit to raise them.
“The mother cannot be trusted to raise the children properly and the picture as an example indicates a lack of modesty and a deficiency in her morals that erode trust in her and result in public disdain as society assesses her actions morally or religiously,” Yousuf Hussain , the father’s lawyer, said.
Lawmaker Al Azemi used the court verdict to support the decision by the parliamentary committee to ban bathing suits.
