An Islamabad District and Sessions Court “dismissed charges” against Khan in the Iddat case where a petitioner had challenged the legality of his marriage. The acquittal overturns the seven-year jail term Khan was handed just days before the elections held in February.
Khan, 71, and his wife, Bushra Khan, also known as Bushra Bibi, were sentenced to seven years in February when a court found them guilty of breaking Islamic law by failing to observe the required interval between Bibi’s divorce from a previous marriage and her marriage to Khan.
