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.
