See this is precisely the problem with pakistan and partly why it has remained quite backward to some extent because too many people in pakistan have such an attitude as yours even now you have actually tried to twist things in such a way as to put the blame on the victim not the sick people who commit these brutal crimes or the culture of hatred between rival tribes that's so deep that they will even kill their own daughters and sisters for it.
Yes lets blame the victim for starting it i'm sure they intended to be murdered by their own famillies lets blame them not the backward tribal system or barbaric mentality of people that allows these chain of events to even exist.
How dare choose her own husband or leave an abusive marriage according to you their deaths are their own faults since the women knew the outcomes of such things
You can say what you want,and thats your right of free speech..I am entitled to having my own opinion.
If you stand in the middle of a motorway and get hit by a car,the driver is not the only person to be blamed..Get it?
Agreed that women should not be stopped from coosing life partners or bailing out of a marriage..But there is a way of doing these things..Boy and girl running around naked on the streets of say..Rajisthan or interior KP will create problem,and they should know that.
I already said,not all cases are not the same,and honour killing is a generalized terminology.Many times its not honour killing at all,its a feud,jealousy or love rivalry.
Every culture has limitations,and people living withing that system should know those limits..If they dont agree with their cultural bounds,better leave it or grow out of it first before doing something radical.
Ok in many eastern/Middle eastern cultures things go unduely violent to the level of Murders..But on a broader level basic human beghaviour is the same all over..
I used to date a white girl somewher in Europe,long time ago,that was in 90s,and i know how many times i got into trouble with white boys,only because i was hanging out with one of their Girl.Eventualy we were bugged to such an extent that both of us decided to leave each other for the sake of our safety....Similar things if happen in our part of the world,its splashed around the world in news madia..portraying us as women supressing tyrants.
Jealousy and competition for female attention is similar around the world,no matter what culture or religion you are from,and it does get escalated to voilence..
Due to factors we are all aware of,this effect is more pronounced in our parts of the world...
But are we the only ones? No we are not..
