In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
“17-Year-Old Newlywed Killed After Being Accused Of ‘Not Being A Virgin,'” Afghanistan International, October 24, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Local sources from Chah-Ab district of Takhar province reported to Afghanistan International that 17-year-old Hasna was killed at her husband’s house less than a week after her marriage. According to locals, Hasna’s husband had accused her of “not being a virgin”….
According to locals, one of Hasna’s brothers-in-law, Yaqoob, was also killed during a “family dispute”.
Locals said that the Taliban had arrested Hasna’s uncle, Bismillah, on charges of murder, but Bismillah denied involvement in the murder.
Haji Darwish, Hosna’s father-in-law, has also been accused of shooting during the family dispute that led to the murder of his son Yaqoob and his daughter-in-law….

I don’t know about anywhere else in the world, but here in the UK the phrase ‘honour killing’ didn’t exist in the our vocabulary until muslims started arriving.

These crimes were certainly a rarity in Britain before the Muslim invasion–not so now, sadly.

The real news in this story is the Taliban actually arresting someone for her murder. See, they’ve reformed 👿
somehistory says
Yes. that part surprised me. But he is the girl’s relative. Perhaps he killed the brother-in-law?
gravenimage says
I noticed that, as well–probably because a man was also killed.
somehistory says
Since mozlums can divorce their wives, she marries another for a few minutes, and then her first can remarry her, why is this matter so important to the males when they take children to rape?
Perhaps this young girl had been raped before.
But to the bloodthirsty mozlums, any charge of whatever at any time will do as an excuse to murder someone.
Sadly, the dead child is better off than to live with the scum who murdered her; to be raped again and again, to wear full-body coverage all of her life; never hear music or the sound of other women’s voices. And would probably have been beaten black and blue by the old scummy dross.
