Pregnant Woman Stoned to Death By Her Family After Refusing Arranged Marriage
A pregnant woman has been stoned to death by her family in Pakistan after refusing an arranged marriage and marrying the man she loved, who was the father of her unborn child.
Certain areas of the world have a high number of so-called “honor killings,” done when a member of a family or social group by other members kill someone in that family or social group because of the perpetrators’ belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family or community. These are often done for reasons such as refusing to enter an arranged marriage, being in a relationship that is disapproved by their relatives, having sex outside marriage, becoming the victim of rape or other reasons. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/27/pregnant-woman-stoned-to-death-by-her-family-after-refusing-arranged-marriage/
