In a significant development for women's rights in Kuwait, the government has announced a monthly allowance of 560 Kuwaiti Dinars (approximately 29,400 Pakistani Rupees) for unmarried women over the age of 30 whose fathers have passed away. This initiative aims to provide social and financial support to these women, enhancing their quality of life. According to the Ministry of Social Affairs, there are about 40,000 unmarried women in this age group in the country. The scheme will initially be implemented on a trial basis, with a decision on its permanence to be made based on the results. The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) has been tasked with verifying the necessary documentation to confirm the eligibility of these women, emphasizing the importance of proper procedures in this initiative (Pakistan News Index, February 26, 2026).
