KUWAIT CITY - The Kuwaiti parliament adopted a bill on Wednesday that scraps government restrictions on military and police personnel from growing beards.
The vote was 21-13, with all cabinet ministers voting against the measure and two MPs abstaining.
The government can reject the law within 30 days. However, parliament is dominated by Islamist and tribal conservatives who want the beard, and it could override that with a two-third majority vote.
