Honour Killings In Jordan

Available for over a year

The Jordanian parliament has voted against more severe punishment for honour killings - currently, a man can receive just six months in prison for murder if his defence is that he was protecting the family's honour. One Jordanian woman talks anonymously to the programme about being under a death sentence from her family after falling in love with a Christian boy. Also on the programme: How Mexican corn farmers have been let down by bureaucrats after the collapse of the World Trade Organisation talks. Plus, a look at wedding songs from around the world.
