00:00Today, a landmark case has been thrown in the trash bin.
00:07It would have been better if this case had never been filed.
00:10Because in our country's history, it will always be like a black box.
00:14But the good thing is that all the women have now come to know
00:18and the decision of this case has set the precedent
00:21that your body, your bodily functions and your menstruation
00:25has nothing to do with the state.
00:28This is not the state's business, this is your personal business.
00:31Along with this, it is also a good news that
00:33now a former husband can't come back after 6 years
00:37and can't make your marriage fair.
00:41This right has also been snatched as a result of this decision
00:43from that former husband.
00:45Now if a woman is asked about her menstruation,
00:49then the opinion of that woman will be given.
00:53No servant, no witness, no religious person or any fatwa
00:59or the opinion of the former husband will be given.
01:02If a woman says that this is the case of her menstruation,
01:05then her opinion will be accepted.
01:07This is also a good thing as a result of this decision.
01:10By the way, this is a unique case of its own kind.
01:14Because we see political victimization,
01:17but for political victimization,
01:20a whole class, 51% of women in this country,
01:23their security, their safety in their marriage,
01:27the way it has been put at stake,
01:29this is a very disturbing thing that has come to light.
01:32We saw that before this decision came,
01:35the debates, the questions,
01:37the way they were ridiculed, the way they were tortured,
01:41questions about menstruation, questions about marriage,
01:44questions about people's relationships,
01:46were being asked in such a public domain.
01:49The women who are taking divorce,
01:52who have taken divorce,
01:53who are going through the process of taking divorce,
01:55who have taken divorce,
01:56they were going through a lot of stress.
01:59Because they were afraid that if this becomes a precedent,
02:02then it may not happen that a few years later,
02:04the former husband will remember that
02:06no, our marriage was disputed,
02:09and he will make their life more difficult.
02:11In addition to this,
02:12there are hundreds of thousands of cases going on in the lower courts
02:15where there are cases of custody, divorce and divorce.
02:18In this way, you give a blank cheque to a former husband
02:21so that he can come and trouble and exploit the women on these issues at any time.
02:25In this country, it is difficult to get married for the first time.
02:28If, God forbid, he cannot run the house,
02:30and there is divorce or divorce,
02:32then the second marriage is already made so difficult.
02:35If this decision had not been made today,
02:37then the women would have become even more insecure,
02:40especially those who are divorced and divorced.
02:43So, today, it is a moment for the women of the country to breathe a sigh of relief
02:48that this judgment has strengthened their rights.
02:55We should appreciate this.
02:57And we hope that in the future,
02:59such a disgusting case will not come to the forefront.
03:03There are many ways, many cases can be made.
03:06But in this way, the safety of a marginalized class will not be put at risk.
03:11Let's quickly go through the details of today's case.
03:14In the case of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi,
03:17the judge, Afzal Majoka, gave a verdict on the central appeals against the punishments.
03:21Khawar Maneka, Bani PTI, failed to prove their case against Bushra Bibi.
03:26The court was told by the lawyer of Khawar Maneka that
03:29Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi got married twice.
03:32If the first marriage was not a fraud, then why was it remarried?
03:36The court wrote in the verdict that even if the second marriage was remarried,
03:39it was still a legitimate marriage.
03:41And even if it was not a legitimate marriage,
03:43then after the term of the marriage was over,
03:45the marriage would have been a legitimate one.
03:47It is shocking that Khawar Maneka remained unmarried for 6 years for the sake of Riju.
03:52Her term had ended before filing this personal complaint.
03:57During the hearing, it was admitted that
03:59on the second day of Bushra Bibi and Bani PTI's marriage,
04:01Khawar Maneka was aware of the marriage.
04:04The appeals of Bani PTI and Bushra Bibi were accepted against the verdict of the trial court.
04:09The verdict of the trial court on 3rd February, 2024 was denied.
04:13The court said that both the requests regarding the opinion of the medical board and the scholars were rejected.
04:19If the other cases are not required, then Bani PTI and Bushra Bibi should be released immediately.
04:26Now the case is not going on overnight.
04:28This is a very long process which was started before the election.
04:32It was started on 25th November, 2023.
04:35In the court of the civil judge of Islamabad, Kudatullah,
04:38the case of re-marriage was filed by the ex-husband of Bishra Bibi, Khawar Maneka.
04:43On 11th December, this case is declared to be closed.
04:46It is said that this case will be proceeded further.
04:51On 16th January, 2024, individual crimes are committed on this case.
04:55On 31st January, 2024,
04:57the accused is brought before the court of Islamabad.
05:02But the court of Islamabad says that the individual crimes have been committed.
05:07So the court of Islamabad cannot interfere in this case.
05:10On 3rd February, 5 days before the election,
05:15the senior civil judge, Kudatullah,
05:18sentenced Bani PTI and Bushra Bibi to 7 years of imprisonment.
05:24On 23rd February, 2024,
05:26Bani PTI filed an appeal against Bishra Bibi's sentence.
05:31On 23rd May, 2024, the verdict is secured.
05:34But Khawar Maneka was given a unique relief
05:41that he was not able to give his verdict after the judge's disapproval.
05:45So the appeal was transferred to another court.
05:49On 13th June, 2024, the verdict is secured.
05:53On 27th June, 2024, the appeal is suspended.
05:57On 3rd July, 2024,
05:59the court sentenced Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi to 8 years of imprisonment.
06:05The case went on for a week.
06:10On 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th July,
06:14the court suspended the district session of Islamabad.
06:20On 9th July, the court suspended the district session of Islamabad.
06:26And on 11th July,
06:28Khawar Maneka made a new request.
06:31He said that a medical board should be set up
06:34and the questions related to the pandemic should be asked by the medical board.
06:38And then it should be decided whether the term was completed or not.
06:41Anyway, on 13th July, 2024,
06:43we saw that the case was dismissed.
06:46Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment.
06:52The testimonies of the witnesses are very interesting.
07:00Mufti Saeed was present.
07:02He said in front of the court that he had two marriages.
07:08The court said that if there are two marriages,
07:11even if it is the first one, it will be considered legit.
07:14On 14th July, he testified that the marriage took place before the date.
07:18And Khawar Maneka's employee, Lateef,
07:21testified about the relationship between Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
07:29So, the situation is that the head of PTI has been released from this case.
07:37But he has not been released yet.
07:39And why has he not been released yet?
07:40Because he has been arrested for various other cases.
07:43Interestingly, a few days ago,
07:45Rana Sannaullah was giving an interview.
07:48He was the Ghalib Anshu of Shehzad Iqbal.
07:50And he said that even if Imran Khan comes out,
07:55he will find a way to keep him in jail.
07:59I apologize.
08:00What did Rana Sannaullah say in Kashif Abbasi's show?
08:03Is he under any other arrest?
08:06The case can be a new one.
08:09If someone is searched from here and there,
08:11he can be released.
08:12This attempt should be made.
08:15The longer the guests stay, the better.
