Love is not the name of force
Ghagh is a very unique culture in Pashtun society. It is a kind of love culture. Whenever a man falls in love with a girl, he wants to marry her. Usually it happens that love culture is not acceptable in Pashtun society. And the family from the girl's side is not ready to engage their daughter with the beloved boy. So the people have introduced another custom. They take their weapon and they go to the house where the girl lives. They fire in air the weapon. This fire is a kind of proclamation to tell the whole society that the man is in love with a girl and only he would marry that girl. It is to show his power and strength with which he would achieve the girl and to let the girl not marry anybody. And it is a kind of her insult and her defamation. And usually it happens that when the fireman does not marry that girl, so any other man is not ready to marry her. So usually it would deprive the girl to marry for the whole life. She would not be able to marry. This culture also leads to chaos in Pashtun society. Because this custom is not right. It is against human rights. It is against the right of a free will to marry. And it is also a kind of insult of the girl. Anyhow, the tribal chieftains also worry about this. They also do not like this kind of custom because it is not appreciated in Pashtun society. Because the system is not good, the government also intervened in this system. And they formulated a law, especially the government of KPK in Pakistan. That whoever is involved in this custom, he will be imprisoned for a particular period of time. So now this culture has almost vanished. And remaining a little bit somewhere in some tribal societies. Let us hope that with the spread of education and awareness among the masses, it will vanish completely.
