When Amir was talking to his Uncle, he was explaining how he had fell in love with his servants daughter. When he had finally exposed this love to his parents, they didn't want this to happen and so they were all against him. This relates to Amir because if he had told his father what had happened to Hassan, the same thing would've happened. His father would've been disappointed in him because he wants a strong son and not a coward. He ran and didn't help Hassan and this would've brought shame to his father.

Malcolm Amir’s uncle, Rahim Khan, reinforced what Assef had been telling Amir about his relationship with Hassan being socially unacceptable. That socializing with a Hazara was and would always be frowned apon, and that appearances matter more than anything. When Rahim Khan described how his mother fainted when she heard about his relationship with the Hazara’s daughter, it really showed how intolerable that was in Afghan society. That moment clearly portrayed how rigid the social structure in Afghanistan was at that time. His parents later sending her and her family away also clearly painted a picture of the importance of appearances in Afghan culture. This quote is relevant to the main question because it shows that inside, Amir knew that sending Hassan away was the right thing to do, and that he’d only be able to forgive himself if constant reminders of Hassan’s loyalty were everywhere he looked.

Francois- During a discussion between Amir and Rahim Khan, Rahim Khan explains about the way the world always has the final say as to what happens in a society. After Rahim Khan mentions how he father and brother wanted to kill him when he annocued to his family that he wanted to marry this Hzarian women, he then realized that it was impossible and unacceptable for him to ever marry someone that is not in his social class. In the Kite Runner this momment clearly portrayed the rigidness and importance of the social structure and Afganistan. This question strongly connects to the main question because Amir was forced to be a coward due to the way his country is ran.
