Pakistani apex court overturns Imran Khan’s conviction in marriage case
The Pakistan Supreme Court has overturned the conviction of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in illegal marriage case.
They were accused of marrying before the mandatory three-month waiting period after Bibi’s divorce.
Khan’s lawyer celebrated the decision on social media.
The couple had been sentenced to seven years, with earlier appeals rejected.
They denied the charges, calling them politically motivated.
Khan faces numerous legal battles, including convictions related to corruption and disclosing classified information.
International concerns have been raised about legal actions targeting political opposition in Pakistan.
