In the wake of a Danish woman’s honour killing in Pakistan, crisis centres and the Foreign Ministry both say they are aware of many instances of women with Danish citizenship being held against their will in foreign countries
Following the killing a 31-year-old Danish woman in Pakistan allegedly over disgracing her family’s ‘honour’ just over a week ago, both cultural experts and the Foreign Ministry are warning that the case was not an isolated one.
Uffe Wolffhechel, head of citizens’ services for the Foreign Ministry, said his office is routinely brought into cases where Danish women of immigrant background are forced to travel back to their families’ countries of origin - most often Muslim countries - and are never heard from again.
The murder of Tahira Tabassum 13 days ago in Pakistan is believed to have been an ‘honour killing’.

“..they are aware of many instances of women with Danish citizenship being held against their will in foreign countries..”
There are many American women who made the mistake of marying Muslim men and who are virtual prisoners in their own home in Saudi Arabia.
They aren’t Danish women; they are DWINOs.
An understatement. This has been going on for years....since the 70s. I have to wonder how many committed suicide, or were beat to death by husbands/family or even her own children.
Th article is not about Danes.
It’s about Danish passport Holders. (Muslim immigrants).
What happened to “I divorce you I divorce you I divorce you?” Poor woman.
