Honour killings aren't nice, I find it personally hard to believe someone would kill their own child because of anything! I think that this needs to be stopped, yes it might be in their religion but it's over the top and I personally think that it's not good, people seem to have to much power If the government was to stop this, yes it would be hard but one day they are going to have to do it once other countries put pressure on the governments who say this is allowed.

Honor killing is a murder. I didn't even know it was practiced these days. A quick read from wikipedia suggest that most of the victims are from Middle East and South East Asia, esp India. Well, I think illiteracy and superstitious has a great role to play. Funny thing is that, I am from South East Asia but I had never heard of honor killing. lol I don't think it's practiced in Nepal.

Yeah, it's not around here, and it's illegal to honour kill anyone here, what ever religion in New Zealand.
