Hi Babs, and welcome

Now---may I ask you if you think it's ok to kill a daughter who flirts/has premarital sex/doesn't cover up correctly/cannot walk the street without a male relative? You see, that is all extremely foreign to my way of thinking but you, being from UAE, might appreciate the security it brings. But, don't you think KILLING someone for flirting or being raped (a thing that happens against the girl/woman's wishes and is violent and evil) for "family honor" is a thing that makes you feel secure? Nobody asks for rape---yet the men seem to get off and the victim is made to suffer. Please help me to understand this as it is a major puzzle for me.

I really appreciate your point of view on this.
