He added to Al-Mamlaka, “The crime that implemented Al-Jalwa in its new concept, took place in the Sweileh area 3 months ago, and the perpetrator, his brothers, his father and uncles were evacuated; Because of the insistence of the victim’s family on this, however, with the passage of time and with the dialogue with them, the victim’s brother decided that the ablution should be limited to the perpetrator, his children and his father.

Al-Jalwa is defined as “the deportation of the offender’s family from the area in which the victim’s family resides,” according to the amended draft law (2016) of the Crime Prevention Law (1954).

Al-Adwan explained that “this agreement is the first after the signing of the new tribal document and its circulation to the governors of the Ministry of Interior and the start of work on it,” pointing out that “the document is a gradual step to work on the erosion of the concept of tribal jilwa in Jordanian society.”

The governor pointed out that the instrument of agreement came “to achieve societal peace and security, and in accordance with the desire of the people of Jordanian society in all its spectrums, and the consensus of all those concerned with humanitarian, social and clan affairs on the need to put in place the necessary controls to organize the clan jalwa and limit its effects and consequences, according to what was stated in the draft (control of the jilwa).

The blood guardians “expressed their support for this document and their complete agreement with the desire of the people of Jordanian society in all its sects and the consensus of all those concerned with humanitarian, social and clan affairs, and their lack of objection to the return of the evacuees to the Sweileh area without condition or restriction, which resulted in the return of the perpetrator’s uncle.”

Al-Adwan thanked the families of the victim; For their cooperation and efforts in reducing the limit applied to the offender’s family and limiting it to the limits of the document of controlling the clan jalwa.
