I am sure most of you have heard of these types of killings. There was on in 1991 in the USA, then again in 1999 and another in Swedan in 2002. So it is not something that does not happen anymore. I am sure there are different reasons for them but they all end with the same result.

"honor murders in Missouri, Ohio, and in parts of New Jersey, New York, and Canada which took place during the last quarter-century." http://righttruth.typepad...

So now my question about this is how is a woman being the victim of rape dishonorable to the family? So dishonorable that she has to be killed?

Yea that is what I have heard as well. We don't hear about them all that often. i remember hearing about on happening in Vancouver a while back but after doing some research I found that there are a lot of these killings in north america and even in countries that do not practice this sort of thing. Thank you for your response.

I can not see what is honourable about killing a woman because she talks to another man or gets raped or leaves her husband to save the families name,We have that in our country and the law comes down hard on them,treats them like a murderer for what they are.Women in some cultures are treated so bad my SOME men ,I say some men not all of them think in this way.It is normally the girls father who organises all this or her uncles it is beyond belief this action is supposed to save the families honor, I would think it would do the family honour no good at all.To become a murderer is the worse shame you can bring on your family in England.xx

I don't see the honor in it either. It really makes no sense to me. The woman was the victim how is that something to be punished over? The person that made her the victim should be brought to justice not the other way around.

That is terrible. It is not like it is the womans fault for being raped. She already feels bad enough about it and dishonored.

yea exactly why would her family want to punish her for what so a$$hole did to her. The jerk is the one that they should be wanting to kill.
