KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait - A Kuwaiti court on Monday sentenced an opposition politician to seven years in jail for failing to tell his wife he divorced her and continuing to have sexual relations with her, her lawyer said.

科威特市——科威特一家法庭周一判處一名反對黨政客7年監禁，他沒有告訴妻子他們已經離婚了，並繼續與她發生性關係，妻子的律師說道。

Waleed al-Tabtabai, an Islamist who is currently outside Kuwait, already faces a 42-month jail term handed down in July in another case for storming parliament and assaulting police.

目前在科威特境外的伊斯蘭教徒瓦利德·塔巴拜，因襲擊議會和襲擊警察，已經面臨7月發布的42個月的監禁。

The appeals court on Monday upheld a 2018 verdict finding him guilty of adultery, said the lawyer, Naser al-Otaibi, adding the ruling was not political.

上訴法院周一維持了2018年的判決，認定他犯有通姦罪，律師納賽爾·奧塔比說，他補充說，這一裁決不是政治性的。

"My client received justice after she was taken advantage of and tricked into something that criminalizes her under sharia (Islamic) law," he told AFP.

他告訴法新社說：「我的當事人被利用，被欺騙，這使她在伊斯蘭教法下有罪，她後來得到了公正的判決。

The lawyer said his client had found out her husband divorced her in 2017 - a year later - after she sued him for failing to provide for her and their child.

這位律師說，他的當事人發現她的丈夫在2017年(一年後)與她離婚，此前她起訴丈夫未能供養她和他們的孩子。

"Evidence was brought forward that they continued a marital relationship during the time they were divorced, including an exchange of intimate pictures via WhatsApp," he said.

「有證據表明，他們在離婚期間繼續維持婚姻關係，包括通過WhatsApp交換親密照片，」他說。

Tabtabai is currently outside of Kuwait amid government discussions on whether or not to unseat him from parliament.

塔巴拜目前在科威特境外，政府正在討論是否將他逐出議會。
