#1 Different culture you see, hard for us to understand don't 'ya know. None of our business. It's not a black or white thingy. It's no worse than imposing McDonalds on hungry Chile chillrun.

#2 This shit will continue until one thing happens. Women who are forced into marriages, at the first convenience, stick something sharp into their new "husband", just as a matter of routine.

If just one woman artist did a music video, or even a song, with a catchy and repetitive theme. One that could be remembered, a tune that could be hummed, that women could sing softly to each other. Something like:

"I will not be raped - stab the man.
I will not be murdered - stab the man.
I will not be sold - stab the man.
I will not be beaten - stab the man.

Stab the man and keep your honor.
Stab the man and keep your life.
Stab the man and keep your freedom.
Stab the man and live in peace."

#3 Rescuing them is great but they have no support system. They need an abuse underground to help them resettle elsewhere and spare them the honor killings. They just may stab the man if they had some where to escape to! The perfect "inside job" on these wacky Paks.
