Re: how many of you personally know of any honor killing ?
here is one i know of,
it was in remote village part of punjab Pakistan, storey goes like this. husband worked in middle east, wife made boyfriend while he is away abroad, husband kept sending money to build their family house, she spent or given that money to boyfriend and his family.
when hubby came back, demanded money to buy the material for construction, she made some excuse for few days until ... she made him to go with her in their old family house away from family, drugged his tea. later invited boyfriend and his father to take care of the husband.. meaning kill him and dumped him under the river bed nearby. all went home, and said the husband is gone with friends to buy bricks etc from another area. she acted calm and kept preparing for eid dresses etc and they had a lovely son too.
weeks after the family and relative got concerned, grilled her and get some truth out of it, on promise of to be forgiven she and her boyfriend helped to find the dead body. that point police was called, guy got arrested and girl was confined in family house to decide for her fate, they decided to recover from shame, to kill her too.
now tell me what she deserved?
husband and herself were first cousins and her other sister was also married to guys brother.
