Take action against arbitration cruelty
Arbitration adjudication is a symbol of an ancient society that still exists in Bangladesh. While many social issues may be resolved through arbitration meeting, it never establishes the rule of law. More importantly, arbitration decisions almost always favour the powerful. Even more alarming is that arbitration proceedings often turn into violence and murder. A recent example of this was seen in the Hathazari upazila of Chattogram. According to information published in the media today (3 August), a father was allegedly beaten to death during a arbitration meeting convened over the 'abduction and marriage' of his teenage daughter in Chattogram.
