Karachi: Drama Case No. 9 has broken records of popularity and created a stir on social media.
However, drama Case No. 9 is also being discussed in the international media.
The writer of the drama is Shahzeb Khanzada, a famous anchor of Geo Channel, whose writing has captivated the hearts of people. This drama has created history by breaking all previous records of popularity.
The echo of the drama is clearly visible on the famous British media BBC, which has included special scenes of this drama in its extensive report.
The drama Case No. 9 is also being mentioned in the BBC report.
Referring to Case No. 9, the BBC used these lines from the drama in the report.
Is there a time when Sahar refuses me? There is a difference between flirting, getting angry and raping. Sahar is divorced, not a virgin. To this, Sahar’s lawyer responds that the accused Kamran and his lawyer are questioning the character of all divorced women and are using tactics that are usually used to prevent the victim from moving forward in rape cases.
The TV drama “Case No. 9,” which is based on a rape case, presents these sequences. In the drama, a rape case is being cross-examined in the courtroom. Citing the decision of Supreme Court judge Justice Ayesha Malik, the victim’s lawyer, Sahar, explains in the drama that “questioning the character of the victim or whether she is a virgin or not, does not determine that she was not raped, but rather the trial of the girl who was raped begins instead of the accused.”

According to the accused’s lawyer Kamran, an innocent man is being accused of a heinous crime like rape, which raises concerns about Sahar’s character. Even if a person has multiple sexual relationships, he does not deserve to be raped.
The courtroom of the drama is undoubtedly very grand, but during the cross-examination of the accused Kamran, the questions, style and gestures of the defense lawyer are exactly what victims of abuse usually face in court.
The drama has sparked a new debate on social media. While some people consider the facts presented in the drama to be important, others believe that challenging questions during cross-examination are an integral part of Pakistani legal proceedings.
