Re: [mukto-mona] Honour Crimes in Jordan

It is repugnant to see that such macabre biased oppression is executed with almost impunity. Long back when King Abdulla had tried to bring a stiff legislation in order to deter such repressive measures, the domanant section in parliament which was represented by the Baduyun Tribes opposed it. They legitimised Honour Killings by saying if olive branches were afflicted with white ant they need prunning. I feel there is strong need to give harsh punishment to the culprits along with enligthen the society on modern values and human rights.
