The reason is rooted in some Islamic fundamentalists\u2019 belief that only through the murder of an offending family member can honor be restored to the rest of the family. Although killers routinely invoke Islam, they rarely cite anything other than the belief that Islam doesn\u2019t allow for the mixing of sexes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a patriarchal culture like Pakistan\u2019s, domestic violence is rampant. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2017\/09\/25\/honor-killings-continue-pakistan-despite-new-law\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human Rights Watch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, it is not unusual for men to murder female relatives to punish behavior they deem unacceptable. Violence against a woman can be due to the fact that she fell in love with a man not of her family\u2019s choosing, refused to agree to an arranged marriage or filed for divorce against her abusive husband. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In February 2016, Pakistan\u2019s largest province, Punjab, passed a landmark law criminalizing all forms of violence against women, reports <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-35943732\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. More than thirty religious groups threatened to launch protests if the law was not repealed, reports <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-35943732\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These groups claimed that the new law will increase the divorce rate and destroy the country\u2019s traditional family system. Months later, in October, parliament passed an anti-honor killing law that included harsher punishments and partially closed a loophole allowing legal heirs to pardon perpetrators who are usually also a relative. Nevertheless, the number of cases of honor killings \u00a0continue to increase. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human Rights Watch suggests that authorities ensure that police impartially investigate honor killings without bowing to political or religious pressures. In addition, they argue that the government should consult women\u2019s rights groups on safety assessments the police should conduct before releasing girls into the custody of their relatives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Women and girls should also have access to safe emergency shelters and other means for protection when they report risks from their family. Above all, argues Human Rights Watch, is that \u00a0the mindset of a parent who could kill a daughter, or the boy who could kill his sister, must be changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pakistan-honor-killing-explained-interview-man-kills-sister\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports the story of eighteen year old Tasleem Rajhu, a daughter in a Muslim family, who was seen in public with a Christian. Even though the man had converted to Islam, their relationship was forbidden. Co-workers would tell her brother, \u201cCan\u2019t you do anything? What is the matter with you? You are not a man. It would be better to kill your sister. It is better than letting her have this relationship.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seven days after finding out that Tasleem defied the family and married the formerly Christian boy, Mubeen Rajhu shot and killed his sister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their father said, \u201cMy family is destroyed. Everything is destroyed only because of this shameful girl. Even after death I am destroyed because of her.\u201d He is angry for two reasons only: now that Mubeen is in jail, he is no longer earning nearly $200 a month, and his daugther\u2019s death will now reveal her \u201cshame\u201d to other members of the family and beyond. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A neighbor said, \u201cI am proud of this man that he has done the right thing, to kill her. We cannot allow anyone to marry outside our religion.\u201d He believes that Mubeen did the right thing in taking his sister\u2019s life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A woman who lived down the street said, \u201cWhy did she have to die? My husband is having an affair and he left me with four kids to support and no one is killing him. Why?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Pakistan, where religion is inextricably tied to culture and tradition, \u201chonor\u201d killings carried out in the name of a family\u2019s reputation have become normalized and are on the rise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4217,"featured_media":6494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1349,1399,5,1258],"tags":[1139,1350,1408],"class_list":["post-6524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-march-2018","category-honor-killings","category-focus","category-1258","tag-womens-rights","tag-honor-killing","tag-islamic-extremists"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
