When imposed, the country’s government has no power related to legislative and judicial. All control goes to military leaders and it allows imposition of curfews and suspension of citizens’ rights. It also nullifies freedom of speech and writ of habeas corpus.
It also prohibits certain activities and regulates the country’s emergency facilities. Civilians also get affected by the imposition of martial law. Their working conditions are regulated by military.
And if anyone defying martial law then they will have to face severe consequences because such actions are considered as a violation of military orders.
