Re: Scary stuff going down in India
Almost as effed as honor killings around the world perpetrated by muslims, oh sorry, are part of a culture, not a religion, and occur in Arab communities in the United States and many countries, according to this chick.':
An honor killing occurs when a male relative decides to take the life of a female relative because, in his opinion, she has dishonored her family’s reputation by engaging in an "immoral" act. An immoral act could be that she was simply seen with a strange man or that she slept with a man. In many cases, women are killed just because of rumors or unfounded suspicions.
