Talk:Swara (custom)

Proposed merge with Vani (custom)
As far as I can tell these articles are about the same custom, which simply has different names. Per sources such as this, which state "Vani or Swara Vani or Swara refers to a customary practice common across Pakistan that serves as a method of resolving disputes and settling debts between families and tribes. According to this custom, female members from the offending male’s family are married/given to the victim’s family as a reparation or penance. These decisions are often made by a jirga or panchayat, a council of elders from the community who convene an informal court to decide methods for resolving disputes. Girls are often subject to inhumane treatment, rape and torture by their in-laws."

The merge can go either way, if someone can provide evidence that Vani is a more common name I'm fine with that. Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 21:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Support, perhaps using Vani (custom) as the final name, as it is term used in Urdu, the national language in Pakistan and widely spoken elsewhere. It also seems to be used in English newspapers, for example . Klbrain (talk) 22:33, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
