Second, Yes inter ethnic marriages do exist between all the ethnicities. What I have noticed is that when a Pashtun man marries a women of the other ethnicity, the woman sometimes takes the man hostage by threatening divorce if she does not get her way since divorce is a sign of baighyrati in Pashtunwali. Its not always the case but the stories are out there. I don't know about now since ethnic tensions are still left over from the civil war but in the past when there was no ethnic tension Pashtun men were in high demand because pashtun meant power and prestige in Afghanistan.
