Not sure if this will fit here or maybe I should start a new topic.
It is all to do with honour.However I'll put it this way.....Honour-killing phenomenon (patriachal custom).
Its,despicable,heinous.A twisted concept of honour.No place in civilized society.However,they claim it is req'd to purify
the name of the family.Protect family reputation.It's a horrific tradition of cleansing families tainted honour..
Concept of family honour justifies the act in their eyes.
Females in the family suppport the attacks.Its a community mentality.
Now use your imagination an substitue applicable terms and see if the outcome is not horrific victimization.
