#1 How does Rawan have so much pull with the local Sheiks? Or is it that they just want to establish their authority as seperate and superior to the Pakistani State's by being extra mideaval and Islamic and upholding a husband's right to off his wife in a jealous paranoid rage because she's not 100% obediant to his every command and retains warm relations with her old family?
Savagery.

#3 "The murderer told the jirga that he would kill another four of five members from each respective family if they refused to strike a deal with him and reported the killings."

Well he can't do that if he's dead.
