Jirga orders killing of woman for ‘honour’

DAHARKI : A local panchayat (unofficial jury), headed by an influential landlord, ordered killing of a woman in the name of ‘honour’ here on Wednesday. The panchayat also ordered to give two minor daughters of a man, charged for having illicit relations with the woman, as vani to the other party. The landlord also imprisoned the accused in his private jail. The panchayat also ruled to kill minor girls, 10-year-old Zubaida and seven-over-old Abida, if they were not handed over to the landlord in three days.
