家庭成员之间的社会信任准则通常很强，因此，我们很难忽视某一家庭成员被另一家庭成员伤害。这可能引起犯罪的家庭成员受到严重的惩罚，比如被驱逐，或者被处死。
即使在今天，这种情境也并不罕见，比如，一个和不同文化背景的男人结婚或生活的女人，有可能会被她的家庭谋杀。
值得注意的是，家庭象征常常被某些组织团体（如黑手党）利用，任何违法家庭规则的成员都将受到严厉惩罚。
与向犯罪者的复仇一样，对亲人的复仇也充满了强烈的愤怒，甚至比对犯罪者的复仇更强烈，尽管也有可能带有某种程度的悲伤。这种故事震撼人心，而严厉惩罚背叛家族者则不受家庭准则约束，或者只是名义上受约束实际却没什么用。

Discussion
Families very often have extremely strong
social trust codes whereby the harming of one family member by another cannot
go unnoticed. This can lead to extreme punishment, such as casting out of the
offender or even their death.
This is not so unusual even today, where
families will, for example, kill a woman who marries or lives with a man who is
from outside of cultural boundaries.
It is noticeable that the family metaphor
is adopted by such organized groups as the Mafia, and who punish severely any
family members who transgress family rules.
As with vengeance of a crime, this act is often filled with great anger, perhaps even more so than for criminal action, although perhaps also tingedwith sorrow. In a story, it can be very shocking and perhaps somehow affirmingto people where extreme response to family betrayal is not a part of the familycode, or even where this is used but has not been needed.
