Plus this crime was committed in a "state of anger", or whatever. Most cases, the brother spends six months in jail (most of this time would pass in the process of trial....etc) and then comes out to the society as the hero they made him think he is. well-played, huh? Most likely

I only read this now, i went back to alghad archives and I didn't find anything about this. How come?! So what happens to the brother? Are we sure he will receive a reduced sentence? Damn.

Let's start with a meeting, with the King and Queen. Somehow, somewhere. Let's not give up even if we're rejected a million times. Let's start this, even if we don't finish, let's just start.

That's the only matter of discussion here. We're not gonna discuss whether her brother had the right to do it or not, nor the role of her family, nor the role of her husband . And I hope, I just hope, that we won't spend our time discussing the fact that the brother is most likely a victim himself, and imagining different scenarios on how they persuaded him and such.   Positive procedures in order to stop this legally-allowed free kill must consider the following: They're all in it together. The government that allows this kill to go unpunished, the parliament -that is either too ignorant or too close-minded- that wouldn't dare pass a law that stops this, the religion men -that are too scared to stare this issue in the eye- that they won't dare touch it with a 100 feet pole, and last -but not the least- the Society that approves this crime, runs and then then rewards it. GO ahead and persuade hundreds of thousands of years of male-domination that it is NOT OK to kill your sister if she speaks with a boy, you're NOT being a good brother. “What can we do?”
