Need to reinstitute the policies of Gen. Sir Charles Napier regarding the immolation of the widow on the husband's funeral pyre:
"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

Trash bags. It is what they wear so burying them later is a breeze!

And what does the daughter’s hubby have to say about this?

Or is he already trolling the elementary school and daycare for a future wife?

How dare she marry outside of the family. Have to keep those genes close for the best results.

Wiki “A story for which Napier is often noted involved Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati by British authorities. This was the custom of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband.

As first recounted by his brother William, he replied:
“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

Responding forcefully to honor killers is of course, good. But what is more effective is a propaganda campaign against them.

That is, at the same time holding up the victims as good people, disparage their murderers as primitive, barbaric, unclean, filthy, stupid people who should be shunned as having no honor or decency. Let the public know that honor killers should be publicly cursed and despised.

There is a lot of cultural specific twists to this, but the end result should be that the killers are socially shunned, even forbidden from entering mosques.

This sort of thing can happen after centuries of interbreeding.

The whole family should be BBQ’d on live TV as a lesson to the masses. After a while the message might sink in.
