Comments on: The end of the ‘honour killing’ law in Syria? http://newsfromsyria.com/2009/07/05/the-end-of-the-honour-killing-law-in-syria/ Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:57:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Maysaloon http://newsfromsyria.com/2009/07/05/the-end-of-the-honour-killing-law-in-syria/#comment-4644 Maysaloon Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:21:04 +0000 http://newsfromsyria.com/?p=4913#comment-4644 I agree with Cheb. The reason behind these killings is men themselves - we all want to crap on somebody elses doorstep but we want a virgin to marry. Our societies have forgotten that getting married was the necessary requirement to having sexual relations. The heavy burden we now place on marriage as some kind of institution has made it either unachievable or too far in the future for anybody to consider it a viable option. So they do things in secret. We are all guilty...but the situation is sad because it does not have to be this way. I agree with Cheb.
