Honor Killings Are Against Islam -- Widespread and brutal crime is a gender issue
OhmyNews International / Smita Poudel (smita)23-Jan-2009 (one comment)
Honor killings are perhaps the most severe of all suppressive acts against women. The term honor killing refers to the murder of a woman because she has committed adultery, been involved in a love affair, married against the approval of her family or has committed, or is suspected to have committed, some other sexual offense.

by Niloufar Parsi on Fri Jan 23, 2009 02:06 PM PSTthis is a very enlightening article, thanks.
it presents a sophisticated approach to dealing with this crime against humanity. it is time for some men to stop seeing their honour tied to the death of women. i have come across a few such cases, and unfortunately men usually get away with it, especially in the middle east and south asia.
