Imran Khan and Wife Sentenced to Seven Years for Marriage Law Violation

The conviction, Khan's fourth since 2022, comes days before Pakistan's general elections, with his party decrying political motivation.

Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have been sentenced to seven years in prison for violating Islamic marriage laws, marking his fourth conviction since 2022.
The conviction comes ahead of the February 8 general elections, with Khan's party claiming the cases against him are politically motivated to prevent his participation.
Khan's legal team plans to challenge the verdict, asserting the trial lacked due process and was conducted in a rushed manner.
The series of convictions against Khan has raised concerns about the credibility of the upcoming elections, with many viewing them as an attempt to sideline Khan and his party.
Despite the legal challenges, Khan remains Pakistan's most popular politician, according to recent polls, with his party, PTI, seen as a significant political force.
