QUETTA: As many as 13 young girls have been bartered to settle a blood feud between two tribes in Dera Bugti district of Balochistan, officials and tribal elders said on Monday.

The girls — aged between four and 16 — were given in Vani by a tribal jirga which arbitrated a five-month-old blood feud between the Baloch tribes of Masoori and Shahwani Masoori. Both are sub-clans of the Bugti tribe.

Mir Tariq Masoori Bugti, a lawmaker in the Balochistan Assembly, is said to have conducted the jirga, which was attended by tribal elders and notable locals, in the Baikar area of Phelawagh.

Vani is a tribal custom in which girls are forcibly married off to settle tribal feuds.

A senior official based in Dera Bugti confirmed the girls were bartered and that they were aged between four and 16.

Multiculturalism.

Complain in the US all sex between men and “womyn” is rape.

Say nothing against the absolute chattel treatment of women and girls in Muslim counties. “Who are we to judge?”

This kind of thing is apparently OK with Code Pink, so why should we have any problem with it? Gets the noisy b****es out of the house and stops a fight at the same time...what’s not to like? /s
