Farooq my auld mate, tribal committees are notorius for their "justice" system. Look at Nigeria for example, a woman (Safiya Husaini) who was raped and subsequently discovered she was pregnant was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, after a state court had found the man quilty of rape. Tribal leaders in the Islamic north of Nigeria which taken in under Sharia law....which from my understanding is not Islamic as it "interprets" the Qu'ran rather than following the Qu'ran...held their own "court" and completely dismissed the medical evidence. The womans husband (who subsequently was forced by his family for reasons of honour to divorce her) was apparently being punished by tribal elders for his conduct in buisness dealings. Strange that one!

Same in Saudi....if a man rapes a woman and is found quilty he has two options assuming that she is single...death or he can marry her?!?!?!

Tribal courts (we used to have them in Ireland, probably still do in some parts) are about as fair and balanced as a sermon from Abu Hamza or Eugene Terre'Blanche.
