If the father is unknown, or if he is known but his legal paternity has not been established, or if he is known and his legal paternity has been established but his nationality is unknown or he is stateless, the child retains the nationality of his Kuwaiti mother, a tie which is not invalidated, as a result of which the children acquire Kuwaiti nationality through the mother. In such cases, nationality is also acquired by blood, but through the mother and not through the father.
Si le père est inconnu ou que sa paternité ne peut être légalement établie, ou si le père est connu, que sa paternité peut être légalement établie mais que sa nationalité ne peut être établie ou qu'il est apatride, alors la nationalité des enfants suit celle de leur mère, la filiation étant donc encore une fois par le sang, mais du côté maternel et non paternel.
