Permanently confused
Every day here in America.
There are around 10 women who are murdered.
Police say that 74% of the women are murdered by boy friends, ex boy friends, husbands, and ex husbands.
In almost every case, there has been a seperation, pending divorce, dicorce, or restraining order, as the result of infidelity or adultry.
Yet in Western culture, we don't call these murders "honor killings".
Although, the men involved clearly feel that their "honor" has been violated and murder the women to restore their "honor".
I have to disagree. These are revenge murders, they're not about familial honour, they're men who kill because they think they own the women and, enraged that the woman is seeking to get away from them they kill them out of a sense of possessiveness. Plenty of men don't kill separating wives or girlfriends though. It's hardly culturally embedded in the US. A culturally embedded honour killing usually involves a family group rather than an individual. A female member may stain the honour of the family by, for example, dating a westerner. A male member of the dishonoured family (and remember the concept of "dishonour" is culturally defined) kills the woman to recover family honour.
