This has nothing to do with honor.. it's cold blooded murder in the name of I-cant-handle-women-being-anything- more-then-my-property- to-use-and-abuse-however-I-want.
And dont say oh its culture esp when its backed up by the _#@)ed up perversion of Islam the vast majority of muslims believe to be the truth.
It all starts with this whole gender segregation BS! When it's forbidden for anyone to talk to one another they will do anything & everything to enforce it.
& how exactly does this help women? if it forces them to become entirely dependent on men for absolutely everything.
I can only imagine the prelude of violence that this young woman endured prior to her death.
Clearly, Honour killing is Honour Violence and it is in no way a religious practice. Women who escaped killing live in fears day and night.
The sister of the young woman callously murdered killing has said she fears she will never be safe again.
