    As the Bard says Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.

    More to the point, you must concede that a large portion of emotion comes from the personal betrayal and not society. The man finds his wife with another man? that's going to hurt like fuck, if you'll excuse the pun.


    Then again if the wife isn't a equal and willing partner in the marriage in the first place, she deserves to bone whomsoever she sees fit.
    But honor killings are not about betrayal, they are about "honor".

    I understand, but one wonders how will society figure out that his daughter got laid with the wrong man.

    It's because he wants to believe that at times. Don't you think?

    Don't you think by killing his daughter everyone will figure out that she had sex with the wrong guy?
    its sex out of wedlock. Not sex with the wrong guy. And by killing, he redeems him self to society. And life goes on!!

    Believe me if there is a law to condemn those mofo's you wouldn't see it happening as much!

    The point is that this whole thing exists because of the retarded belief that a father is the "leader" of the family and everyone must obey him. This cuts both ways, because it means both that a) the wife and the kids have less freedom and b) that the father is "responsible" for anything that happens to anyone of them.

    If society didn't maintain this nonsense that the father is the leader then none of this would happen. So what we need is equality, both across genders and across generations.

    No. Like I said, if he's the only one who knows this, then there's no problem for him. It's only a problem if "they" know. And so if she keeps doing "the wrong things" he's living in fear that sooner or later "they" will find out. Therefore, the sooner she kills her the better for his reputation.
    I doubt that, really.

    Let's put it like this. If he knew to complete certainty that noone would ever find out, would he have reason to kill her? Would he still do it "for himself"?
    I think he would still harm her. Don't know if he'll kill her or beat her up bad, but he would react bad. Someone who's capable of killing his wife or daughter for sleeping with the wrong guy is capable of doing anything even if public wont find out.

    It's about dignity for some. :sergio:

    Ah, but the honor killing most likely leaves him with more "honor" than he had in the first place. After all.. he killed her for the good of the tribe. So yes, he would have a reason.

    True, but without the "shaming" of a stray daughter being known to the whole neighborhood, there is the small fact that it's his flesh and blood. Watered down as that argument must be by now.

    Dictums of Quran and Hadiths which may dictate/incite honor killing:

    Quran- 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four (reliable) witness from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them. Or God ordain for them some (other) way.”

    Quran-24:2 “The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication—flog each of them with hundred stripes: Let no compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in God and the last day.”

    Quran-17:32 “ Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).

    Quran-33:33 “stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display.”

    Now some sahih hadiths:

    Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 63, Number 196:
    Narrated Abu Huraira: A man from Bani Aslam came to Allah's Apostle while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet ) saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." On that the Prophet turned his face from him to the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The Prophet then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at the Musalla ('Id praying place) in Medina. When the stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught him at Al-Harra and stoned him till he died.
    (See also Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 63, Number 195.)


    Sahi Bukhari: 8:6814:
    Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari: “A man from the tribe of Bani Aslam came to Allah’s Messenger [Muhammad] and informed him that he had committed illegal sexual intercourse; and he bore witness four times against himself. Allah’s Messenger ordered him to be stoned to death as he was a married person.”

    Sahi Muslim No. 4206:
    “A woman came to the prophet and asked for purification by seeking punishment. He told her to go away and seek God’s forgiveness. She persisted four times and admitted she was pregnant. He told her to wait until she had given birth. Then he said that the Muslim community should wait until she had weaned her child. When the day arrived for the child to take solid food, Muhammad handed the child over to the community. And when he had given command over her and she was put in a hole up to her breast, he ordered the people to stone her. Khalid b. al-Walid came forward with a stone which he threw at her head, and when the blood spurted on her face he cursed her.”

    Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 2. pg 1009; and Sahih Muslim Vol 2. pg 65:
    Hadhrat Abdullah ibne Abbaas (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates the lecture that Hadhrat Umar (Radiallaahu Anhu) delivered whilst sitting on the pulpit of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). Hadhrat Umar (Radiallahu Anhu) said, "Verily, Allah sent Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) with the truth, and revealed the Quran upon him. The verse regarding the stoning of the adulterer/ess was from amongst the verse revealed (in the Quraan). We read it, secured it and understood it. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) stoned and we stoned after him. I fear that with the passage of time a person might say, 'We do not find mention of stoning in the Book of Allah and thereby go astray by leaving out an obligation revealed by Allah. Verily, the stoning of a adulterer/ress is found in the Quraan and is the truth, if the witnesses are met or there is a pregnancy or confession."

    Al-Bukhari:
    The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever guarantees me that he will guard his chastity, I will guarantee him Paradise”.

    Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, An-Nisa’i and others:
    Abu Hurayrah reports that the Messenger of Allah said, “No one commits adultery while still remaining a believer, for faith is more precious unto Allah than such an evil act!” In another version, it is stated, “When a person commits adultery he casts away from his neck the bond that ties him to Islam; if, however, he repents, Allah will accept his repentance”.

    Al-Bayhaqi:
    The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O mankind! Beware of fornication/adultery for it entails six dire consequences: three of them relating to this world and three to the next world. As for the three that are related to this world, they are the following: it removes the glow of one’s face, brings poverty, and reduces the life-span. As for its dire consequences in the next world they are: it brings down the wrath of Allah upon the person, subjects him to terrible reckoning, and finally casts him in hell-fire.”

    Under Sharia Law any form of fornication is punished by lashing and stoning when one is married. Under the current Egyptian law, If a Man Kills his wife for honor out of suspicion then this is murder. If however, he caught he during the act of fucking someone else then he has the right to kill her.

    Yes and no I guess. As our basic presumption is that her only function in life is to represent him. By that we already assume that he cannot love her.

    It's not only about shaming thing. It's about dignity too.

    Shaming from his society is something and thinking about his dignity makes him feel more of a man. They're two important things for them.

    Yes. I think that society stands so strong that this is becoming an internal aspect as well. This would make the killing logical, even if no one else knew.

    The thing is, such a situation where nobody would ever know isn't even possible. Because the guy she slept with knows, and he has friends, and those friends have friends, so word is bound to spread.

    But if there is the slim possibility that nobody would find out, the family would rather cover it up than kill the girl(or the guy).

    bare in mind that Islam prosecutes fornicators but under a legal system.. In other words.. you can't kill your sister for honor.. the judiciary system can do it for you
