Couple, three others, killed over 'honour'
2006-08-25
KARACHI: Five people, including a teenaged couple that married against their families' will, have been killed by relatives in the latest incident of honour killing, police said on Thursday. The couple — Kamalan and Allah Rakhio — both 18 and from rival clans in the southern province of Sindh, had married about three months ago after eloping, said Usman Subaho, a police officer investigating the case. "They were killed just a few days after returning to their village, after getting married in Karachi," he said. "We have identified 10 men who took part in this carnage and are hunting for them," he said.

The girl's family took her wedding as a slight on their honour. The attackers stormed the couple's house early on Wednesday morning killing them and three other family members including a three-year-old girl, said Subaho. Eleven family members were wounded in the attack, he said.

#6  "...from rival clans.." means that they are not from the same clan, ie, family. They're not blood relatives, therefore they can't marry.

Google 'consanguineous marriage arab' if you doubt me.
