If it is accepted by family with their own choice & free will then it is a wise decision by the family and in accordance with Shariah law, otherwise the Laanat is on the rulers.
JW: That is the logical answer and I knew that, and I totally agree with that. But please keep it in mind that the State of Pakistan is not governed by the Sharia law. Its governed by a so called Constitutional (English) Law. Which interestingly is neither English nor Sharia Law. In essence, the crime was committed inside the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Law, culpable under the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and not the Sharia code. According to that, the crime.... regardless of any other type of settlement like paying blood money the committed crime does not go away. The person has to be brought to justice under PPC of Pakistan.
Khoon baha dey ker Allah kay haan maafi zaroor ho gaye laykin raij ul waqat mulki qanoon kay tahat phir bhee muqaddama chalay gaa. Otherwise there is no point of PPC.
I will cite here three examples to build my case:
1. Sharif's Huddybia paper mill case was
closed on technical grounds but the crime even after 35 years is still there.
2. Kazi Faiz Isa's London property case was
closed on technical grounds but the crime after 20 years is still there.
3. Similarly, today's SC judgement in regards to NAB case has been
closed on technical grounds but the colossal crimes committed against the State 10 years ago are still there,
Therefore, in the subject Natasha case though the blood money has been paid, regardless of enticement or under influence, the case will be
closed on technical grounds but the crime will still be there.
