Jordan: A 17-year-old girl died after being strangled to death by her brother in a Palestinian refugee camp near the Jordanian town of Jerash .
He was apparently angered by her absence from home.
The woman, who had been married for eight months, was accused of shaming her family and killed in a so-called "honour" crime.

This is the second murder of its kind in a month.
A Jordanian prosecutor has charged the victim’s brother, a 20-year-old man, with premeditated murder.
Local newspapers reported that he had stuffed a scarf in his sister's mouth, choked her with an electric cable and smoked a pack of cigarettes before turning himself in.
Sharia. Coming to a mall near you.
The key to all this, meaning Islam, is that what someone thinks, in this case the brother, justifies the death penalty. Want some of that? Want tolerance Islam?
but but but the hypocrats said we need to “repair our standing” in the world!
Wow, what a loving family. And she was married but he killed her anyway. What? The dowry not big enough?
Jordanian Soap Opera
Sister: Oh brother, my boyfriend blew himself up. Why did he do it? Is there something wrong with me?
Brother: Oh sister, of course there is something wrong with you. You are a woman. Nevertheless your boyfriend probably had his reasons and they had more to do with the British Embassy than a crazy female.
All cultures are equal, and don’t you forget it.
RIP.
