Isn't This A Strange Idea Of 'honour'?

Very, Sandy, I'm glad i don't live in their world.

[ummmm]

In our world, yes, but ladies have been killed for less in their world.

[bunkmoreland]

The fact is, that "ladies are less!" in their world horrifically!

[ummmm]

It's very sad.

I have a daughter and 2 sons. Without a doubt she's in charge. My boys love and respect her.

I cannot fathom the mindset in Sandy's link.

Bad as it is that any society could condone such brutality it seems somehow worse that a family member turns on a sibling and is proud of what they've done.

[ummmm]

Just unimaginable.

In my world we'd fight for our siblings.

It's just men controlling women, all over again. They can't resist it. As I have said before, it is so much more fun controlling women than controlling themselves.

Sickening. I notice she was drugged before he strangled her - was that in case she dared to fight back? Did he think she might have managed to escape his tremendous manly clutches?

There's never been any honour in being a coward, which is exactly what he & his brother have shown themselves to be, along with all the other big, strong men that carry out these heinous crimes.

This isn't a crime that should be referenced by way of religion or upbringing, but against the basic decency & humanity that should be present in everyone, everywhere but is sadly lacking in so many.

They put 'honour' before love, just like a young girl killed in my town some years ago by her Pakistani parents who resented her westernised life and felt she had dishonoured them !! She would have been 30 this year.
