well...we think the murder was not the only solution..but we can "understand" why her father did so...in italy the pakistani community is not very instruct as in england, hollend and other country..the majority of pakistani here are from gujrat and small towns (infact there are soo many women who didn't exit from their homes, they stay in italy just to renew the doc. and then they return in pakistan)...so when there is someone's daughter who does something wronge, against our culture and religion, the family feels humiliated infact everybody start to watch them from an other point of view....infact there are so many case that i know of daughters escaped from home and now their familys live segregate at home...BUT FROM THE CASES THAT I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES ARE WHO BEFORE CRITICIZED THE DAUGHTERS OF OTHER PEOPLE...
WELL, the hina's case was sooooooo used by the media against the musalmans, they presented her as a great girl with lots of friends, full of life and ecc.ec.. and painted the islamic community rappresented by her father as villains who repress their women, who acts to be good people but they have violent spirit, ecc.ec.. b'cuz of the media also the common people's point of view changed soo much!! for exemple my father's italian friend started to ask him if he was thinking to kill me and my sister just b'cuz we wear jeans!!! well...that period was really bad for all the community... my opinion is that the girls and boys of this first generation in italy should do some sacrifices to have a better future for them, for the community, for the other generation...we are the generation who has to creat the contact between pakistani and italians but this contect has to show the positive aspects to each other...for ex. we should not tell to the italians that the arrange marriage are forced but show them the positive aspect of it and we should not divulge in pakistanis that the italians try to take off our roots...
i understand from what perspective your post is coming from ... but i am really against families moving to another country for "money" when they obviously cannot adjust in that lifestyle. consequences are pretty obvious ... you cannot fake a blind eye!
why on earth do people from small villages and towns move abroad in such open communities and expect their children (daughters) to stay shut behind doors and not get influenced by what goes around outside?
every action has an equal and opposite reaction! so jitna parents will force their kids to mold into how they want them to be, utna he the kids will resist, feel suffocated and retaliate and rebel. and then after all this ... just kill your children because you couldnt control the situation.
i'll just say that every case of honor killing (even if the girl was starkly provoking) is a problem stewed by parents from the first time they move abroad. for their own materialistic benefits they go abroad in a community where they obviously cant survive, and end up screwing their family.
