When dissemblers and apologists obfuscate and say that honor killing and honor violence is a “cultural” thing, ask them, which culture? Islamic culture.
Muslim girls cannot marry outside of the faith. Under the sharia it is punishable by death.

The assailants escaped from the crime scene. Heavy police reinforcement was rushed to the spot as tension spread in the area, an official told IANS.
