The study titled "Effects of Political Dynamics Advanced by Sectarianism on Family Institution in Tribal District Kurram of Pakistan" was carried out in the most sectarianism affected two Tehsils of Ali Zai and Parachinar under the quantitative study. A sample size of 200 respondents was randomly selected with an equal proportion of Shia-Sunni from the study universe, and a questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The data was analyzed at a uni-variate level with the help of frequency and percentage distributions through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The association between dependent variables (Family Institution) and independent variables (Political Dynamics) was determined at a bi-variate level of analysis while using Chi-Square test statistics. The study concluded that people vote for their own sect, people never participate in the election campaign of another sect, selected members of legislative bodies mostly secure the objectives of their own sect and prefer their own sect with respect to developmental projects, political leaders influenced the authority of administrative officials, an administrative official appointed in the area most often of their own sect oriented, sect-based politics is part of the family discourse.
