A Study of Tribal Structuralism and Settlement of Dispute via Women as Compensation (Sangchatti) in District Khairpur Mirs

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the circumstances leading to the practices of tribal structural practices and the settlement of women as compensation in District Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan. Data was gathered from all of Khairpur' stalukas as part of research that was conducted in Khairpur. For this study, potential responders included victims' parents, brothers and blood relatives as compensation (Sangchatti). A sample size of 85 respondents was randomly chosen and then proportionately distributed across the study's population. Dependent variablewomen as compensation (Sangchatti) and independent variable tribal structuring practices were included in a conceptual framework that also included demographic information on family structure, income, and educational attainment. Simple frequency, reliability, correlation, and regression analyses were used to examine the acquired data to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. All techniques were performed in SPSS 25.0 version for the data analysis. About women's compensation practices, the study found that the dependent and independent variables related to the tribal structure approach were both positive and significant. For tribal structural approaches and women as compensation, while controlling income, non-spurious outcomes were also found in the low, middle, and high-income groups. The study concluded that these practices persisted because formal courts of justice were ineffective. Additionally, a strong illiteracy rate and family structures with modest income profiles were some other factors that helped to make it exceptional.
