There's a lot more honor killings in India- which is predominantly Hindu. Honor killings also occur in Albania, Brazil, etc. so its more of a cultural than religious aspect.
Honor killings are a family collaboration. Worldwide, two-thirds of the victims were killed by their families of origin. (See Table 1). Murder by the family of origin was at its highest (72 percent) in the Muslim world and at its lowest in North America (49 percent)

Yeah it's pretty ****ing **** isn't it how backward and revolting some of the behaviour is in the world isn't it.
What do you suggest be done to attempt to address these instances Calamity? In the meantime, perhaps you could petition your local representatives and campaign for assylum and awareness programmes of how to seek international help to escape for those who may be fearful that they could be subjected to such henious crimes.
By most people's standards, that would be considered "evil."
My solution would be to discourage backward religions and traditions by speaking out against it and shaming those who perpetuate such atrocities. In other words, making honor killings dishonorable.

I believe the traditional answer is that we should use drones to kill them so they don't have the chance to kill each other.
If you do your out speaking here you'll be fine. Do it there you might break a law and find yourself trashed.
Would you risk being lynched to speak out?
Irshad had married Mussarat Bibi, the daughter of a rich local agricultural family, about an year ago and fled as he feared his in-laws would kill him, but he had returned to see his parents, the police chief said.
A manhunt had been launched to find Irshad's in-laws, who remained at large, he added.
Last week 16 year-old Zeenat Bibi was killed in Lahore by her mother for marrying a man of her own choice in a case that sparked condemnation throughout the country.
It was swiftly followed by another killing, of a couple in Lahore who married without their family's consent.

I'd have been lynched 20 years ago,if I even made it that far.
Looks to be like HK's are an epidemic in Pakistan. And, men are most certainly not immune.
Well giddy up and get off your ass and get over there and start campaigning loudly for the knuckle draggers to stop. Contact your representatives and ask them to be more outspoken. Do something productive. If you think anyone who engages in that despicable behaviour is reading your posts here and seeing your lazy outrage then your kidding yourself.
Good luck.
HKs? Not sure I understand the term.
I guess my part is just trying to get the Leftists to even admit that there is a problem. Too many here spend their energies defending a religion which is rotten to the core and not enough condemning it. Of course, for some reason, they have no trouble condemning Christianity. But, say a bad word about Islam, and you are labeled "Islamophobic."
