I did a speech on honor killings for my class in school a couple weeks ago. The research I did on it and the cases that I got to read about were barbaric and literally had me seeing nightmares for a week. It is sick and unjustifiable for human beings to behave in such animalistic ways all for the sake of protecting their honor. What the public might not have known about the girls in question gets publicized nationwide after their death anyway so whats the point?
I personally know a family back home where the brothers and father got together and killed their 14 year old daughter for smiling at the milkman. Some family members insinuated that the smile was indicative of an affair
