#2 There ought be an underground group, that "mysteriosly" causes the deaths of the perpitrators of the "honor killings", or call them as they should be called, murders...

If somehow some of these these fellows would wind up "mysteriously" dead, word would get around, and it would slow down at least...

How did the British colonial powers cut back on the Sati in India, which was the ritual emmolation of widows with their deceased husbands at funerals?

Something should be done about this.

Also, because it seems so rampant, there seems to be a sexual perversion aspect to this, a "snuff" element as it were...

#3 Ed, wasn't Sati the source of one of the best quotes of all time....

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
