In recent news, Senior Civil Judge Qudratullah has sentenced PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to seven years of imprisonment each. The verdict also declared their nikah, reportedly conducted during Bibi’s iddat after her divorce from former husband Khawar Maneka, as against Islamic law. Both accused have been fined Rs.500,000 each as part of the judgment.
