Imran Khan and Wife Bushra Bibi Sentenced for Illegal Marriage

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have been sentenced to seven years in prison for an illegal marriage, following a previous 14-year sentence for corruption. The court ruled that Bibi violated the law requiring a three-month waiting period before remarrying, as her divorce allegedly occurred less than three months before marrying Khan. Khan's party insists the trial is politically motivated and plans to appeal. This comes amidst a series of legal battles and convictions for Khan, who has accused the military of orchestrating his ouster. Khan's tumultuous personal life, including previous marriages to Jemima Goldsmith and Reham Khan, has also been under scrutiny.
