Kuwait's supreme court upheld the death sentence of Nasra Yussef Mohammed al-Enezi, 24. She allegedly set ablaze her husband's wedding tent on August 15, 2009, killing 57 women and children, as revenge for taking a second wife. The ruling is final unless the emir commutes the sentence to a life term.
Enezi denied the charges throughout the trial and her defence lawyers argued there was no material evidence to convict her.
Under Islamic laws, men in Kuwait can take up to four wives at a time.
If Enezi is hanged, she would be the first Kuwaiti woman to be executed in the Gulf state's history.
