#1 Jordan charges five men in honor killing case

It took five of them?!? No wonder they're being charged!

#2 You know, the term "honor killing" suggests to me that someone was killed to reclaim a family's honor. Given that it was probably a secret affair (if there was any affair at all), I doubt that anyone knew about it. So why would someone kill in this case? Just shut your trap and all will be well. Now the whole place knows what happened. Oh the shame. Or maybe not, I don't know.

Now suppose the whole place knew what happened before this girl was murdered. Do they really look down on the family in a way that makes their life hard? Are their children unmarriageable or something? Do the vendors at the markets refuse to sell them food? Is someone going to kill the father and the uncles unless they kill the girl? Now that the girl is dead, do they get preferential treatment or something?

I notice there was no mention about the guy. I suppose that it was OK for him because there was uncovered meat laying around or something.

Yes, they are recipients of elevated communal esteem for being such "pious" Muslims. [spit]
