Nearly 40,000 Kuwaiti women over 30 are currently unmarried, highlighting evolving social patterns in the country. The scheme is part of broader welfare measures designed to provide economic security and support women without family-based financial backing.
In addition to this allowance, the Kuwaiti government continues its state-backed marriage grant for men marrying Kuwaiti women, which combines a KD2,000 gift with a KD4,000 interest-free loan.
The initiative underscores Kuwait’s commitment to promoting social welfare, economic independence, and targeted support for women in diverse life circumstances.
