Jahalat in Pakistan seems to have no political affiliation. This is exactly the sort of thing that the courts should crack down.
**Pakistan MP in blood feud case **
Pakistan’s top constitutional court has ordered the arrest of an MP for alleged involvement in forced marriages of five girls aged between one and five years. Mir Hazar Khan Bijarani of the Pakistan People’s Party headed a “jirga” or a tribal council which allegedly ordered the weddings to settle a dispute. The case centres around the custom of “vani” in which blood feuds are settled through forced marriages. Mr Bijarani says he did not order the marriage of underage girls. He says he was just trying to bring two warring families in Sindh province together. Following a complaint, the supreme court froze the jirga ruling, ordered police to investigate the case, and arrest jirga members if need be.
