Jul 13, 2024, 11:30 AM

A Pakistani court in Rawalpindi has acquitted former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, on charges of unlawful marriage. The couple had been sentenced to seven years in February for allegedly breaking Islamic law by not observing the required interval between Bushra's divorce and their marriage. This acquittal clears the last existing legal case against Khan. The ruling was confirmed by their lawyer, Naeem Panjutha, and marks a significant development in Khan's ongoing legal battles. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party also confirmed the acquittal in the Iddat case.
