We have previously discussed Islamic honor killings, here and here. We have previously discussed an Indian honor killing here. We can now add a Christian honor killing to our rogue’s gallery.
A newlywed couple was murdered by the brides’s older brother, to restore the family honor. The dishonor? The husband was Muslim, the wife was Christian.
The bride’s family could not support the marriage. They had insisted that the groom convert to Christianity and the wedding take place in a church. The couple eloped hoping the family would come to acquiesce when presented with a fait accompli.
Their plan didn’t work as they had hoped.
An interfaith marriage brings dishonor to a family but a double murder does not? Insanity.
