Kuwait Refunds Wedding Hall Bookings Amid Event Suspension
Social Affairs Ministry returns all payments as precautionary measures continue
In line with precautionary measures taken amid ongoing regional developments, Kuwait’s Ministry of Social Affairs has suspended all social events, including weddings and gatherings, until further notice.
According to Al Jarida, the Ministry has moved swiftly to mitigate the impact on citizens by refunding all amounts paid for bookings at wedding halls. This includes both reservation fees and security deposits.
The refunds were processed through the Department of Women, Childhood, and Community Development, ensuring that those who had secured venues for upcoming occasions are not financially burdened.
The Ministry indicated that booking services will resume via the “Dar Al Munasabat” application once the current situation stabilizes and upon approval from the Ministry of Interior.
The temporary suspension comes as part of broader efforts to prioritize public safety and respond to evolving regional conditions, reflecting the government’s proactive approach in managing public events during uncertain times.
