'Honor' killings shock Pakistan

The cuckolded spouse would have been well within his rights to divorce the woman. Under Islamic law, this can be accomplished merely by striking her, uttering the phrase "N'Gos tlhogh cha!", and spitting on her. Although he could challenge her to ritual combat, it is more likely he would challenge the woman's lover. The father, however, faced with a dishonored and unrepentant daughter, could only legitimately take action in formal accusation before the council of his House. In challenging the accusation, she would select a cha'Dich to defend her before the Council. Because the right of a Muslim House to perform executions is archaic and rarely invoked, if she lost the challenge, she would most likely be discommended rather than executed - the members of her House would quite literally turn their backs on her, and she would become a non-entity.

If only - the Klingon system of justice sounds a lot better than the Islamic version.

Islam is an insane murder cult.

You've got to be kidding with all that tripe you just wrote. Where did you get it? a Muslim marriage ceremony is very businesslike. It doesn't unite "heart and blood" and it doesn't unite the couple before God like a Christian one does. I've been to Muslim marriages, have you? It is easily ended when it suits the man. Not by striking or spitting, though. By saying "I divorce you" three times. And "ritual combat"???!!! With a woman? Please... I don't know what science fiction you have been reading and foisting on people here. And I don't know what language you were trying to use. But it ain't Arabic. Oh, you forgot the part about the Klingons coming down from space to supervise the "Mauk-to 'Vor" ritual. LMAO.

Thanks for the insight. It sounds like something out of Star Trek.
Did we forget that this woman did not actually comit adultery but was merely running away from an abusive spouse?

this is shocking because wht tht man did is not the islamic tradition.its not written in the the quran.its illiteracy and honour killings also occur in other countries like india.india is not a muslim country or they do not follow quran then y does this happen there.for the information of everybody,i would like to tell tht adultery is prohibited in islam but killin innocent daughters without any proof is not allowed even in islam.adultery is punishable in quran by hundred lashes for a person who is guilty of it.so comment on any religion only if u know about it.
