Re: Compensation Marriages
Let me give you an example, in the states we have people wrongly convicted all the time. In fact this happens in europe as well. In such advanced countries if people can be wrongly convicted, then lets scrap their court of law as well. Granted they didn't give such a terrible crime as the beating of a women. However this is totally against the tenets of pashtunwali, you can't force a women to be raped, it is a very low act, and is punishable by death at that moment. Jirga is still extremely credible, more so than any institution for pashtuns, regardless of gender. What pashtuns need is education and awareness, not scraping of such staple instituions to our afghan/pashtun history.
