Public peace is not every person’s consent
Sulha uses recognized intermediaries, staged de-escalation, honor repair, negotiated obligations, and public reconciliation to end collective conflict while leaving questions of voice, equality, and legal finality separate.
Premise
Sulha treats serious conflict as a rupture in a wider social field. A killing, assault, feud, or interfamily dispute can implicate kin groups whose security, honor, and coexistence are at stake. The process creates a channel to stop retaliation, negotiate obligations, restore public standing, and signal that ordinary relations may resume. Socially recognized peace is not the same as equal bargaining power or individual consent.
