Family

[edit]

Changez Khan Marri is the eldest son of the late Khair Bakhsh Marri and is the heir for the title of nawab, however a nawab is not in Balochi tradition rather a title given by the British during colonization. The previous chieftain of the Marri tribe was the Sardar but due to conflict with the british and other reasons the title of the head of tribe was taken away and given to the Gazaini sub tribe of Marri. His brothers are Hyrbyair Marri, Balach Marri, Ghazan Marri, Hamza Marri and Mehran Marri.
