Jalwa, in its simple translation means "banishment" or "exile,"
and often requires that people accused of grave crimes, and their families,
leave the area where the act was committed in order to avoid never ending
cycles of reprisal.

document, which was approved by sheikhs and dignitaries of tribes in the
Kingdom, as well as the Lower House and the Senate, was based on three
criteria: acceptability, applicability, and limited risk.
During a response to MP Salamah Al-Balawi under the dome on Wednesday, Faraya
confirmed that the tribal jalwa document is only a first step and not a final
solution.
