Kiss and squawk: A parrot in Kuwait just exposed a cheating husband

News Agencies | Updated on: 10 February 2017, 1:45 IST

A man in Kuwait had a narrow escape from going to jail after the family parrot accidentally exposed his alleged affair with the housemaid as it mimicked flirtatious exchange of words between them in front of his wife.

According to the Arab Times report, the alleged affair came to light after the parrot started to repeat flirty phrases in front of his wife.

The wife then lodged a complaint with officers at Hawally police station in Kuwait and accused the husband of cheating, noting she had been suspecting the man for a while, the report said.

She said the husband was surprised when he saw her returning from the office before time and became nervous.

However, the prosecution officer said the case could not be regarded as crime based on lack of credible evidence and could not be admitted in court, as it could not be proved that the bird had not heard the intimate conversation on TV or the radio.

Adultery is illegal in the Gulf state, carrying a potential prison sentence or even hard labour.
