How long are these senseless inhumane honor killings keep going on for in this country?Can you imagine how a young girl of 18 must feel to see her family do all these nasty things to her and attempt to take her life just for marrying someone they disapprove of? Makes me sick to the stomach what this young girl went through..her life can never be the same..even here in the Uk a lot of people have lost their lives over these stupid senseless honor killings.If they had any honor at all they will butt out of the victims lives and mind their own businesses.
