Episode 2
Zarlakhta is devastated when her new father-in-law, the Khan, drives her parents and brother from the village.
Mewa Gul has inadvertently dishonoured the Khan. Now he must flee with his family, leaving his daughter to live with her husband and new family - the family of Akbar Khan. Zarlakhta is devastated by their departure but her brother, Taza Gul, has been finding out about the incentives for returning refugees. He is hopeful that they can claim back their land in the village they fled from many years ago.
An Everyday Story of Afghan Folk is a slice of village life from the wild, mountainous Pakistan-Afghan borders where the only law is tribal law and there is no road, electricity or phone - and warlords are hard to contain. It is based on characters and storylines from PACT Radio's daily soap, made by and for Afghans.
