  • Introduction: Honour Violence, Law and Power in Upper Sindh
    Introduction HONOUR VIOLENCE, LAW AND POWER IN UPPER SINDH n The story that I am to narrate here begins in the 1990s, when as a reporter in a local magazine called Newsline, I wrote a comprehensive news story on karo kari,1 (literally ‘black man and black woman’), a vernacular honour- based practice in the Upper Sindh region of present-day Pakistan. Known popularly as a rasam, a ‘custom’ that sanctioned men and women accused of sexual transgressions with death,2 karo kari has since become a leading story of the national media in Pakistan, a major human rights issue and a problem that both lawmakers and civil society are concerned about. My report was the first comprehensive exposé of the existence and preva- lence of this practice in the region of Upper Sindh.3 This report disclosed the violence committed through karo kari, whose perpetrators were defend- ing what was considered a timeless, natural and therefore unquestionable ideology of honour called ghairat, a moral sanction enforced by each indi- vidual, and more specifically each man, but with social approval. In the report, I described the punishment of ‘black’ men and women as retributive justice for men whose honour had been damaged when a female relative was accused of engaging in sexual relations with another man. Husbands, fathers, brothers and sons could accuse their wives, daughters, sisters or mothers of being black, and the action taken against women could be either expulsion from the community or death. If found with the woman, the co- accused man could be killed or subsequently hunted down.
