"Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Wife Sentenced to Seven Years for Unlawful Marriage"

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Khan have been sentenced to seven years in prison and fined for their 2018 marriage, which was deemed unlawful by a court. This is the third adverse ruling against Khan in a week, and it comes ahead of national elections that he is barred from contesting. The court found that Bushra did not complete the waiting period mandated by Islam after divorcing her previous husband before marrying Khan. Khan is also facing a 10-year disqualification from holding public office, and it is unclear if the sentences will run concurrently or sequentially.
