re :What the hell kind of society sits around wringing hands when young women are strangled to death for choosing the wrong male companion.

The answer to your question is every time a honor killing case is discovered, it is throughly investigated and those found guilty imprisoned and not once has any defense ever been put forward or accepted that it is allowed because it is a traditional custom.

Thanks for clarifying THAT... I was just blown away by the concept of "grappling" with something that is so obviously wrong.
