What more Honour than the Dishonour of Killing? It is about time the Muslims the world over, woke up to civility, leaving aside bigotry and blind belief. All should be subject to Common Laws that have been adopted by the majority.

This practice occurs not just among muslims but among hindus also. Certainly the parents deserve the death penalty in cases like this. To my knowledge, only these two primitive and repressive religions have practiced such barbarism on their own children.

Hey, hey, leave religion out of this. Shows how little you know of the major religions of the world. But you write as though you are an authority on the subject. FU. Take all that is bad happening in the world and blame it on the teachings of the Islamic Faith. How convenient.

the reason for the occurrrence of such similar instances.
