Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi Sentenced to Seven Years in Un-Islamic Marriage Case

The sentencing comes amid a crackdown on Khan's party, PTI, ahead of Pakistan's national elections, with the party vowing to appeal.

Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to seven years in prison over their 2018 marriage, deemed 'un-Islamic' by a Pakistani court.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party faces severe restrictions ahead of the election, including jailed leaders and a ban on rallies.
Khan, barred from the upcoming elections, claims nearly 200 charges against him are fabricated to prevent his participation.
Despite the crackdown, PTI plans to continue its campaign through massive online efforts and advice from Khan.
The military's influence in Pakistani politics is highlighted as analysts describe the elections as heavily influenced by the establishment.
