Obviously it's an open secret. However i was certainly not expecting them to achieve their goal through this law. I thought it irrelevant considering that relatives are very angry and they will not accept it. Americans however have a complete idea that this is the only way. I am amazed at their use of this law not the law itself.
the families were indeed angry initially. But after almost two months, they've come to accept the reality. Their sons wont come back. But here they have an opertunity to live the rest of their lives comfortably. This isn't selling their sons or crap like that. This is Islamic law and I respect it. Many families in Pakistan accept blood money for their relatives' murder where the murderer is another Pakistani, no one ever raises an eye brow, we all accept it, but these two families are traitors and have sold their sons because the murderer is America? No wonder the families decided to move and leave their houses.
