Case No. 9 has concluded with Sehar’s (Saba Qamar) victory and Kamran (Faysal Qureshi) behind bars for 25 years. The strength displayed by women in the drama serial becomes the central point. Manisha (Naveen Waqar) and Beenish (Amina Sheikh) became Sehar’s backbone, with Kiran (Rushna Khan) deciding to side with the truth over her marriage, thereby proving female unity.

The drama serial shows that “no means no” and that it must be respected in all circumstances. The drama serial dived into reality, as Shahzaib Khanzada displayed real-life statistics regarding gender-based violence. He pushed on the fact that many rape cases are not reported due to victim blaming. He further added that rape is a heinous crime and a woman must be supported when she reports it. He also stated that, regardless of Pakistan having courts and law, the cases of gender based violence are in a prolonged backlog.

With Sehar walking out of the court successful, praise poured out on social media, as people appreciated the effort put into making a drama serial on such a sensitive topic. Case No.9 helped people understand the social, domestic and legal aspects of a rape case and marked itself as the only drama serial doing so.
