^ Parents who try and kill off their daughters to protect their 'honour' should get the death penalty imo. I remember seeing some film where the Sikh girls were being told to jump down the well (or pushed when they refused) to commit suicide to save their honour cos the Muslims were coming (it was during the Partition). People would rather their daughters were dead than be around to 'shame' them :(
I agree with you on this.
Although this is not the only way that some parents kill their daughters, or force them to die. What about the cases where something bad happens, and the parents want to hush it all up?What about the cases where their daughters have miserable lives/marriages, but they must not speak, as that will tarnish the honour of the family?What about those parents who think that the most important consideration in the world is to think, 'log kya kahein ge'. Never mind what your own child has to go through, in order to avoid others talking about them.
