Why can't Marana ethically be used even against a hostile blood relative?
Individuals committed to Dharma cannot ethically employ lethal offensive rituals (Marana) against blood relatives, because the ritual's recoil (Tiryak Prabhava) can cause collateral harm to one's own children, spouse, or parents instead — as historically mirrored in the losses suffered by the Pandavas.
