Honour Killing!!

By: Naila Bux

Im a Muslim gyl, and i have bro n sisters n i understnd bwt honour n religion etc.. bt 1 thing i dnt undertsnd is that y do people like to go around n spread news and rumours bwt ova ppls life..

Wer i live is a very small twn and if nefin dramatic apens every1 finds out in a hour!! if sum1 seen a gyl wiv a boi or arguments between families n ova ppl, sum1 or sumhow news gets spread reali easily, which to me is causin d honour of that family to be disgraced in the society. The main problems most asians have is bwt wot the society wil say bwt them, my family think dat too, dts y ppl i knw always think twice b4 dey go newer or do nefin jst so dat their honour n respect in the society is still der!

Many asians i kwn and sum friends are in a relationship n one particular m8 of mine, she is d youngest in d family n her older bro n sister are in relationships or have been. she gt cort hanging bwt wiv her bf on the streets by ova ppl dat knew her. Wen she wnt home the ppl dat saw her n her family all started to shout at her n hit her , even d ppl dat saw her wiv dat boi hit her!. she cudnt believ it dat her own bro n sis was hittin her for avin a bf whereas dey wer in a relationship as well or had been. She tried to tell every1 bwt her bro n sis dat dey been in relationship or are in 1, but no1 beleived her cuz they all fort she was mkin it all up to get revenage or to cause problems! since den she had her fone takin of her, not alloweed to go out newer alone, n is sent to pakistan to family to get married b4 all sis bro jst cuz she was in a relationship!

Nw tel me is dat rite or wrng, dat m8 of mine is nli 16 n shes married and her older bro n sis aint yet, she gt soo badli hit i cudnt belive it wen i went to see her! Her face was swallon, had a fraktures wrist, bruises etc!

All im gna say is to all who have younger bro or sis, look in d mirror b4 say or do nefin to dem, protect them but dnt be a hipacrit !
