KUWAIT CITY — Muslim hard-liners in Kuwait’s parliament walked out of the body’s inaugural meeting on Sunday to protest two female Cabinet ministers who were not wearing headscarves.
The nine men left just after lawmakers and ministers started taking the oath of office. They returned after the two women, Modhi al-Homoud and Nouria al-Subeih, were sworn in. Neither of the women were wearing long dresses or covering their hair, which Islamists maintain is required by their religion.
