#1 courts usually commute or reduce sentences in so-called cases of honour killings, particularly if the victims family urges leniency. Around 15-20 women are murdered each year in Jordan

Another National Geographic moment...

#2 Murder is punishable by the death penalty in Jordan, but courts usually commute or reduce sentences in so-called cases of "honour killings," particularly if the victim's family urges leniency. Around 15-20 women are murdered each year in Jordan in the name of honour, despite government efforts to fight such crimes.

Cut down a death sentence to a 10 year bid? Yeah, sounds like they're really trying to crack down on this lunatic bullshit...
