Several clips from the Kuwaiti series “One Wife is Not Enough” sparked widespread reactions and disapproval and were described as offensive to the values and morals of Kuwaiti society.
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Information revealed the reason for stopping the series “One Wife is Not Enough,” which was shown in Kuwait during the holy month of Ramadan, stressing that the story of the series offends Kuwaiti society.
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Information announced, “Referring the makers of the series to the Public Prosecution, accusing them of insulting the values and morals of Kuwaiti society.” The Ministry also decided to “stop all actors participating in the work from acting in any artistic works in Kuwait, whether theatrical or artistic.”
The Assistant Undersecretary for Press, Publishing and Publications at the Ministry of Information, Lafi Al-Subaie, said in a statement that everyone who participated in the series One Wife is Not Enough or any artistic work that offends Kuwaiti society has been suspended from participating in any theatrical works shown in Kuwait.
The statement added, “The Ministry of Information is keen to apply laws, rules and regulations to everyone without discrimination, preserve the values and traditions of Kuwaiti society, adhere to morals and traditions, and advance public taste.”
A scene that “followers” described as shocking caused an uproar that caused the series to be stopped, before the Ministry of Information intervened and referred its stars to the Public Prosecution on charges of “insulting the values and morals of Kuwaiti society.”
The scene included a dialogue from the Egyptian artist Aiten Amer, with a nurse who was treating her husband, played by her compatriot Majed Al-Masry, and she appeared angry in the dialogue at the husband’s inability to perform his marital duties that night.
This scene angered the audience, and Kuwaiti art critic Mufreh Al-Shammari described the scene as “obscene dialogue… ridiculous language… unspeakable dialogue. I don’t know how the actors in this work were satisfied with it, the height of obscenity.”
It is noteworthy that this scene is one of several scenes that faced a lot of similar criticism, in addition to the series’ thorny story about polygamy, marital infidelity, and various social relationships. The work was subjected to a torrent of criticism on social media sites, and the Kuwaiti public considered it “at the height of decadence” and the viewer “ It does not take into account the customs and traditions of society.”
