Imran Khan and Wife Sentenced to 7 Years for Illegal Marriage

TL;DR Summary
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have been sentenced to seven years in jail after their marriage was deemed illegal and un-Islamic. This is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Khan, who is already serving time for corruption. The court found that Bibi had remarried before the stipulated time following her divorce, violating Muslim family law. The couple was also fined 500,000 rupees. Khan's party claims the cases are politically motivated, and many are questioning the credibility of the upcoming general election as Khan and his party have been sidelined.
