For any crimes committed such as light crime to serious crime, it can be Bought Off (means Settled) by Paying Blood Money.
It means that for example that an Indonesian Maid is Murdered by the Employer, the employer can be acquited by paying Blood Money to the deceased parents. If accepted by the immediate family, the Guy who committed the crime is left off the Hook.
