Gjakmarrja

Gjakmarrja is a traditional Albanian practice of blood feuding, where families seek to settle conflicts or revenge through violence, often involving retaliation for a perceived wrongful death or insult. Rooted in historical customs, it emphasizes honor and family reputation, leading to cycles of violence that can last generations. Although it's less common today due to legal and social changes, Gjakmarrja remains a significant cultural phenomenon, highlighting the complex interplay between tradition, justice, and modern law in Albanian society.
