ISLAMABAD: A local court in Islamabad on Thursday summoned former Pakistan PM Imran Khan on September 25 in a case related to his alleged ‘un-Islamic’ marriage with Bushra Bibi, Pakistan-based Express Tribune reported citing Express News. Civil judge Qudratullah in an order issued to the superintendent Attock Jail, where Khan is imprisoned after being convicted in the Toshakhana case, directed the latter to ensure that Khan is presented before the court, the paper reported.
The PTI chief is facing charges of allegedly getting married to his third wife during the time of her Iddat – a specified time period of waiting for a woman before marrying someone else after getting divorced or after her husband’s death. Earlier in July, Khan challenged a trial court’s decision to accept a petition seeking criminal proceedings against him and his wife for cohabiting after their first nikah that allegedly took place during her Iddat period.
