巴基斯坦一家法院驳回了一起强奸案,裁定婚姻在90天的离婚等待期间仍然有效,因此没有提出强奸指控。
A Pakistani court dismissed a rape case, ruling marriage was still valid during the 90-day divorce wait, so no rape charge applied.
拉合尔高等法院驳回了针对丈夫的强奸案,裁定根据巴基斯坦穆斯林家庭法条例,婚姻关系在法律上依然有效,因为90天的离婚等待期尚未到期。
The Lahore High Court dismissed a rape case against a husband, ruling that marital relations remained legally valid under Pakistan’s Muslim Family Law Ordinance because the 90-day divorce waiting period had not expired.
由Tariq Saleem Sheikh法官领导的法院指出,在这段时期结束之前,离婚不是最终离婚,由于丈夫在规定时限内撤回离婚,因此在2024年10月17日据称事件发生时,婚姻仍然具有法律约束力。
The court, led by Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh, stated that a divorce is not final until this period ends, and since the husband withdrew his divorce within the timeframe, the marriage was still legally binding at the time of the alleged incident on October 17, 2024.
因此,法院认为,该行为不符合巴基斯坦《刑法》第376条关于强奸的法律定义,该条要求没有婚姻保证金。
Therefore, the court held that the act did not meet the legal definition of rape under Section 376 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which requires the absence of a marital bond.
该案被驳回,确认当婚姻在法律上保持不变时,强奸的刑事责任不能适用。
The case was dismissed, affirming that criminal liability for rape cannot apply when the marriage remains legally intact.
