This volume examines the central position of \u003cem\u003ekaro kari\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003ekaro kari\u003c\/em\u003e, and how modern law is implicated in this seemingly ancient cultural practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nafisa Shah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785333658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785333651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Nafisa Shah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938051031295,"sku":"9781785333651","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bbe8088a-c528-4a1c-8934-35cc3b21885d.jpg?v=1681433439","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/honour-and-violence-nafisa-shah-9781785333651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
