Just World Belief and Attitude Toward Jirga

Just World Belief and Attitude Toward JirgaDiscussionThis study was aimed to investigate the Just knowledge domain stamp and posture toward jirga among university students. subject shows that the positive attitude toward jirga is positively correlated with just domain belief. This shows that people with positive attitude toward jirga ashes also have high level on JWB. This finding is supported by the theory of the belief in a Just life A fundamental delusion (Lerner, 1980) .theory purposed that a just world is one in which actions and authors have predictable and appropriate consequences. When people believe that the consequence of e rattling action is appropriate the also trust the decision fashioning by their elders of jirga cause it support there belief that one allow for only get what her be there is no chance of unjust decisions.an opposite(prenominal) important finding of the study is, that the level of JWB is high among mannish students in comparison to fe virile stud ents. JWB is defined as the consequences one faces is because of her own work and what that deserve there. Or in other words you reap what you sow. In our ordering women argon consider weaker them men, Men have more resources and opportunities to fight for their business and get what they want according to Lerner (1980) people be motivated to believe that the world is a just place where people get what they deserve. In near cases women are the once who suffers even if the crime is done by the staminate constituent of the family i.e Vani . the sample for this study was conducted from the students of Peshawar many of them belong to the ruler areas where the justice system is week or where judicial system is replaced by the Jirga system, in this kind of situation a men in our society have more reason to stand for his right and mostly the judgments contactn by jirgas are in favor of men or if someone committed a strike his sis or daughter is offered to the antheral member of t he victims family to settle the score and bring peace between two families. In this scenario the women how become Vani lost her credence on just world or any other women who saw this kind of treatment lost her faith on just world. The injustices for women in our society is not just in the areas where jirgas are the main sources of decision, in areas where Judicial system is available even there its very saturated for the women to get justices, for exam if a women became a rape victim the family prohibited her to go to the polices because according to them taking this kind of matter out from the house will jeopardize there respect and the status and if even then a women go out and approach the police she face the humility by the male member of police and then if the rapist get caught he get his self out from the jail on a bile like in the case of Mukhtaran BIBI anti terrorism romance sentenced 6 men to death for rape but the Lahore high court cited insufficient evidence and Suprem e court too acquitted the accused ( the express Tribune, April 22, 2011). This kind of situations make female member of society not to believe on the phenomena like just world belief.These findings are supported by the study conducted by (Hayes, Loren Bell, 2013) on Victim Blaming Others botch Myth acceptance and just World Belief, there results indicate that the level of just world belief is higher among men than women.Important finding of the study is female students have negative attitude toward jirga system then male students and over all the attitude of students toward jirga is more negative than positive. Jirga is a form of local council who have all male members in it, most verdicts given by them goes against women even if it was a male member of the family who committed the crime, Like VANI is an example in which if a male member of a family killed or committee a crime to another person or family the female a daughter or a sister or niece of the murderer forcibly married t o the male member family of a victim to settle the scores between families the male who committed the crime didnt get any kind of punishment, there are many expels of this tradition , in district D.I. Khan a three year old girl given to a man of forty v years on the decision of the local Jirga because the uncle of the three years old who kidnapped a girl (Daily Jung , 22 January 2007) , another case a man ran off with the daughter of the neighbors and the girls family took the case into local jiga , the jirga decided that the 6 month old daughter of the culprits should be married with the 25 years old brother of the runaway girl.( Al-Juzairi, A.R, 1977) and other example of the decisions of the Jirg system is honor killing jirga allow to murder a women if a male member of her family think that she dishonored his family they dont even need prove to prove that women guilty, and another example is honor rape in which if a male member of a family ransacked someone jirga ordered that male members of the victims family should rape the female from the family of the person who rapped. The biggest example of the honor Rape is the case of Mukhatra BIBI, on June, 2002 the 30 years old Mukhtara BIBI was ganged raped on the order of the local jirga , because there was the accusation on his 12 year old brother that he raped an 18 years old girl ( 28th June 2005 , BBC News). According to the HRCP during the time period of one year January 1 2013 to December 31 2013 there are 510 females became victim of the honor killing and 359 victimized by Karo kari.These numbers and incidents clearly show why women have more negative attitude toward Jirga system. the overall attitude slightly inclined toward negative attitude toward jirga system the reason can be because the selective information was collected from the Universities the education level played important bureau in changing the view of the people from positive toward negative attitude.The findings of the research show t hat the view of the people is changing toward jirga system, the level just world belief shows that females of our society are facing injustice. Females are more than 51% of our population to make our nation stronger it is necessary to give security and confidence to a huge part of the population.Limitations and suggestionsThe main limitation of the study was the limited resources and the safety conditions of the country which prohibited the researcher to go further in the rural ares and collect data .To measure the attitude toward jirga system conducting the interviews could give more details views and results. The sample was collected from the Gandhara university Peshawer , it can benefited the study if data was also collated from rural areas e KPK and other provinces where jirga system is also very common . The direct interviews from the victimized females can benefited the study by giving the more insight about the psychological condition and the level of JWB among those females .Implications of the FindingsThe findings have very important implications, it is shown by the results that females are clear victims of the jirga system and they clearly showed negative attitude toward this system, authorities should take serious steps toward this jirga system which is clearly violating the rights of the women, secondly women shows low level on Just World Belief , which indicates that women who are more 51% of the population are very insecure and victimized by the unjust Law system and biased society if authorities doesnt take any proper steps to give security and justices to the women then it will make our society more week and vulnerable.ReferencesDaily Jung , Multan , Pakistan . 22-1-2007.Al-Juzairi, A.R .
