Lawyers, women activists, and members of civil society all harshly condemned the Iddat conviction as a "blow to women's right to dignity and privacy."
A court had ruled in February that the marriage of the former prime minister and Bushra Bibi violated Islamic law.
Islamabad, Pakistan - A court in Pakistan has rejected an appeal by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife to suspend a February ruling that their 2018 marriage violated Islamic law.
The decision by the court in Islamabad on Thursday means that Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, will remain behind bars.
The seven-year jail sentence, handed on February 3, was announced five days before the country’s general elections and followed two other convictions for Khan in separate cases. Both have since been overturned.
The marriage case against the couple was filed last year by Bibi’s former husband, Khawar Maneka, who alleged that his divorced wife did not observe the necessary three-month break required under Islamic law before marrying Khan.
Maneka claims he divorced his wife in November 2017. Khan announced his third marriage with Bibi in February 2018, months before he became the prime minister.
The couple filed multiple appeals against the conviction, seeking a suspension of the judgement.
Another appeal by Khan and Bibi to annul the February conviction is expected to be heard from July 2.
