Sadly honor killings still happen. The abuse of women needs to stop. It may be mentioned in the hadith, but most modern cultures denounce it.

Gaza police have arrested family members over the deaths of two Palestinian teenage girls, one of them the victim of a suspected "honour" killing, Hamas authorities said Monday.

Authorities caught relatives of one of the girls as they were trying to bury her in a cemetery near Jabaliya, north of Gaza City, on Thursday, police spokesman Ayyub Abu Shaar told AFP.

The girl's father had "beat her days before her death", Abu Shaar said.

The Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) said a post-mortem showed signs of "torture" all over the girl's body as well as signs of untreated gangrene from years of physical abuse.

The rights watchdog said the girl was 17.

Police also discovered the body of another girl in the southern Gaza district of Khan Yunis in what could be an "honour" crime, Abu Shaar said.

"Her brother killed her, and the case is still being investigated. The murder weapon has been found," he said, without elaborating.

PCHR said the girl was 18 and had fatal knife wounds to the neck.

I wonder how soon these two girls deaths will be placed at Israel's feet, and added to the list of "innocents murdered" by the IDF .

During the hamas/fatah fight for power Israel was blamed for over 250 murders that were the work of either hamas or fatah, Israel was also blamed for many of the injuries sustained by supporters of both groups in street fights and turf wars.

Senior Hamas Official Against 'Honor Killings'

Dr. Yunis Al-Astal , a member of the Council of Scholars of Palestine and an MP in the Hamas "parliament," sharply criticized Sunday the phenomenon of honor killings in Palestinian Arab society.

In his statement, Astal argued that honor killings is a more serious crime than the reason behind the honor killings itself, as punishment for premarital sex - which is the most common reason for the murders, according to Astal - is only one hundred lashes, not execution.

Astal also clarified that while adultery is punishable by stoning according to Sharia Law, the sentence needs to be handed down by the court, not by family members. He slammed the fact that, often, honor killings are carried out in secret - with only close family members knowing her fate.

The Hamas MP urged Palestinian Arabs to solve problems with promiscuity not by murder, but through arranging the two guilty parties to marry.

The move may come as a surprise to some, as Hamas has enforced a stringent interpretation of Islamic law in Gaza since violently taking power there in 2007.

The group has banned women and teenagers from smoking hookahs in public, ordered that women's clothing stores are not allowed to have dressing rooms, men cannot have hairdressing salons for women and that mannequins shaped like women must be dressed in modest clothing.

The group also introduced a strict dress code for female university students, demanding that they wear “modest clothing”.

Last year the Hamas government banned residents of Gaza from participating in the national reality singing show “New Star”, which follows the same format as popular U.S. shows “American Idol” and “The X-Factor.”

Hamas claimed the program was “indecent,” adding it contradicts the customs and traditions of the Gaza community.

no dressing rooms in clothing stores? I have to admit---I HATE dressing rooms----
I hate trying on clothing------but---(to be perfectly honest) I am known as a somewhat
----'lousy dresser' I just buy stuff and hope for the best. REAL WELL DRESSED
LADIES always carefully examine clothes as they drape off their posteriors----with extreme
interest and precision. People even "try-on" bras------I don't-----but I end up TUGGING
on them (even in public....) which is worse? a public bra tugger or a dressing room?
