On Tuesday, a court in the nation’s capital ruled that a petition contesting the PTI chairman’s nikkah with Bushra Bibi was valid.

Raja Rizwan Abbasi, the attorney for Petitioner Mohammad Hanif, and other parties presented their arguments before Civil Judge Qudratullah, who pronounced the reserved judgement the day before.

The PTI leader and Bushra Bibi have received notices from the judge, who has postponed the case until July 20.

Last Monday, a district and sessions court in Islamabad overruled a civil judge’s decision to dismiss a case alleging the former premier’s non-Shariah nikkah.
