Abstract

Jirgas and talks grounded on the idea of (Power and Price) are the means by which the issues that arise among the Pashtuns are resolved. The article's goal is to pinpoint the Pashtuns' shared understanding of Narkh (price). It is a field study with a bibliographic focus, and the researcher employed both descriptive and analytical methods to achieve this goal. In any location or nation where there is a dearth of educated individuals, people would always resort to their civil laws in an attempt to resolve disputes or other issues. Among these rules and precepts, the majority of Pashtuns, particularly the tribes centered in Paktia, have a particular folk law known as Narkh (Price), which they frequently apply to resolve disputes. Narkh literally means "price" or "public law." Price, as it is known locally, refers to the customary choice made by the Merakchis (interviewers) to resolve a conflict between two or more individuals, families, villages, or tribes. Regarding societal concerns, there are many different kinds of prices: the cost of heat, the cost of cold, the cost of preparing halal food, the cost of murder, the cost of Quba, the cost of a woman, the cost of a woman on the run, the cost of theft, and the cost of walking off the road. Similarly, the price, or Jirga, has been referenced in literature, both written and oral, and it has served as the basis for poetic theory in this regard.
