Описание:

The practice of karo kari allows family, especially fathers, brothers and sons, to take the lives of their daughters, sisters and mothers if they are accused of adultery. This volume examines the central position of karo kari in the social, political and juridical structures in Upper Sindh, Pakistan. Drawing connections between local contests over marriage and resources, Nafisa Shah unearths deep historical processes and power relations. In particular, she explores how the state justice system and informal mediations inform each other in state responses to karo kari, and how modern law is implicated in this seemingly ancient cultural practice.

Описание: From childhood, wilful, intelligent Saira Qadar broke the boundaries between her family`s traditions and her desire for independence. A free spirited and rebellious Muslim American of Indo-Pakistani descent, she rejected constricting notions of family, duty, obligation and fate, choosing instead to become a journalist, the world her home. Five years later when tragedy strikes, she must confront the truths of her life. In need of understanding, she looks at the stories of those who came before, her grandparents, beloved aunt, her mother and father. And discovers that choice is not always our own.
