Man fined for killing niece under karo-kari
SUKKUR: A jirga [tribal court] held in Arsala Bijarani village near Tangwani town of Kandhkot-Kashmore district on Sunday ordered a man to pay a fine/compensation of Rs1.5 million for strangling his 18-year-old niece to death on the charges of maintaining an extramarital affair a couple of months back.
Shabbiran Chachar was killed by her uncle, Abdul Rahim Chachar, under the notorious custom of karo-kari. The matter was brought to the jirga, which was presided over the community elders, Manzoor Ahmed Chachar and Arz Mohammad Chachar.
After hearing the rival sides, the jirga declared Rahim guilty of murder of the innocent woman and ordered him to pay a compensation of Rs1.5 million to the aggrieved side. He paid Rs100,000 on the spot and undertook to pay off the remaining amount in instalments within the next three months.
Both sides accepted the ruling and declared an end to their enmity.

Karo-Kari is a type of premeditated honour killing, which originated in rural and tribal areas of Sindh, Pakistan. The homicidal acts are primarily committed against women who are thought to have brought dishonour to their family by engaging in illicit pre-marital or extra-marital relations. In order to restore this honour, a male family member must kill the female in question. We conducted a systematic review of the published literature other sources on karo-kari and related forms of honour killing or violence against women. Media and non-governmental organization reports were utilized for case studies and analysis. Although legally proscribed, socio-cultural factors and gender role expectations have given legitimacy to karo-kari within some tribal communities. In addition to its persistence in areas of Pakistan, there is evidence that karo-kari may be increasing in incidence in other parts of the world in association with migration. Moreover, perpetrators of ;honour killings’ often have motives outside of female adultery. Analysis of the socio-cultural and psycho-pathological factors associated with the practice of karo-kari can guide the development of prevention strategies.

How many US dollars does the fine add up to?
I really don’t want countries like Pakistan to inhabit the same earth that I live on. Islam is putrid bile.
Around here they used to call it lynching.

Who is the "aggrieved side" in this matter - the murderer's brother-in-law (i.e., the niece's father)?

Cuba was a polyglot of Western, African-Caribbean, and ME cultures. I assume that "Honor Killing" was also prevalent among other Latin-American cultures. The nature of my work brought those killings to my attention.
remember the rats want us all to believe we are all equal
If (as we were taught by LIB “educators”) all cultures are equal...Beam me up, Scotty!!!
