TL;DR Summary

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Khan have been sentenced to seven years in prison and fined for their 2018 marriage being deemed unlawful by a court, marking the third ruling against Khan this week. The sentencing comes ahead of national elections on Thursday, which Khan is barred from contesting. Khan's party plans to appeal the rulings, and it remains unclear if the sentences will run concurrently. The couple were also fined 500,000 rupees each. Khan is currently in prison in Rawalpindi, while his wife will serve her sentence at their Islamabad mansion.
