Honor killing

Honor killing
I was searching... for information about.. killing. And found this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing
Read the entire wiki. This is incredible... **** honor killing. You can have no proof, just the mere thought of it and you can kill your girlfriend or sister or daughter.
A woman can be targeted by (individuals within) her family for a variety of reasons, including: refusing to enter into an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce ? even from an abusive husband ? or (allegedly) committing adultery. The mere perception that a woman has behaved in a way that "dishonors" her family is sufficient to trigger an attack on her life.[2] An honor killing is a murder, nearly exclusively of a woman who has been perceived as having brought dishonor to her family. Such killings are typically perpetrated by the victim's own relatives and/or community and unlike a crime of passion or rage-induced killing, it is usually planned in advance. In societies and cultures where they occur, such killings are often regarded as a "private matter" for the affected family alone, and courts rarely become involved or prosecute the perpetrators.
