About the murder and blood money of Faraj Allah Khan

The author discusses the murder of Faraj Allah Khan, negotiation with victim’s son, and suggests two alternatives as the blood money. The first alternative is to make a marriage arrangement between a girl from the murderer’s side and one of the victim’s inheritors, as well as paying fifty tumans. The second suggestion is to transfer all the murderer’s belongings to the victim’s inheritors. Faraj Allah’s family has not accepted these suggestions and is asking for one hundred tumans.
