In case of affairs, divorce is a much better option than murder.

@Feroz i agree. affair means she is not happy with her current husband and there is no point to drag the relationship

As long as women are treated as commodity of honor rather human beings this will keep on happening no law no accountability can stop it. How can you stop relatives of murdered woman to pardon the father of three kids who have lost their mother. A society where no religion no law is important than the egos and personal justice. Almighty may have mercy on the departed souls and on us

Go for divorce instead of murder in such cases. If you have murderer a woman, remember she left died with your name as a husband. I also condemn the act of such women who instead of demanding divorce from their husbands keep affairs with other men

If the woman ask for divorce, than another problem is EGO and another Honour Killing

Nothing left to say after all the cries without even a shred of response!

There wouldn't remain even a single man on this planet if woman and girls start killing them in the name of Honour Killing.. Please think before going to take such harsh step - she is a living thing... she do have a heart, she even breathe the same as you do... If you think your women aren't in your control, give them that love and protection the other person (whom she has affair) is offering her.. Beating and hanging her isn't the solution at all

Sixer from Chakwal: In Pakistani society and specially rural places, its not easy for women to ask for divorce. It will be assumed she is going for another marriage in which case the husband family will be furious because of their family honor and will not give divorce nor let her do Khula unless women family is much stronger. But in majority cases woman is dead before she can take any steps to even think about getting a divorce.

@Nomi Goraya -well said, totally agree!

Jealousy and ego are naturally dangerous.

In Pakistan, the cases of honored killing has tremendously been increasing due to the non implementation of rules and policies formulated by the Govt.

whom to blame now?

Why don't we fight this menace

Has ever a man been killed for such affairs?? It's a sheer brutality, heinous crime and ramifications of masculine and patriarchal society where men are in authority over women in all aspects of society.

@Sixer from Chakwal Sir I can only sympathies with you and pray for you

@Feroz Some body in Pakistan should teach people at large that in such cases DIVORCE is better option than killings.

@GNM you do know a woman served pm not long ago

Sexuality is a complex issue. Without quality education in the society, the previous, rather primitive norms are difficult to eradicate from the society. However, it is good to know that law is taking its course in this incident.

@Feroz correct. But we have to focus on changing the mindset of men and allow womenfolk to take a decision about their life choices. Otherwise what you said would remain a theoretical proposition in the context of South Asian background.

There are three solutions to eradicate all ills of the society. 1. Education 2. Education 3. Education.

Did anyone think what would happen if husband had an affair instead of wife? She would never kill him. A man would have had option to bring the other woman home as second wife. What option women have??? Even the poor woman had asked for divorce, she wouldn't be given it. Even if she was given divorce, her husband would take the kids. If she was allowed to take the kids, she would have no place to take them . Is there any way out for women if they are from poor background?

It is known and a fact that more married men have illicit relationships for what ever reasons.And some of them do not even hesitate to hide it. But then why no men are ever killed by the wife's brothers or father.May be we as a society think that they are honoring the family by going around with more than one woman.

Education is only the solution

@Ayesha islamically who ever commits the xrime are to be punished. Regardless of gender.

Islamically had a men cheated he would have got the punishment too, but we pakistanis have deviated giving men free passes while punishing women. Whoever commits the crime should be pubished regardless of gender as by islamic ruling.

Maybe the poor woman wasn't even having an affair!

@mishi you did excellent analysis of the situation

Pakistani Nation demands exemplary and most severe punishment for the murderers of this innocent woman. There is absolutely no honour in killing an innocent helpless human being. Period.

Divorce was the solution but for these illiterate people it will be a black mark on their honor if they leave wife, daughter..... Need some harsh laws to keep these kind of killing away . Need to stop those Jirga where elder village people make decision which also a narrow minded thinking.

Temptations are not allowed outside marriage but the Law should be respected. Women should have divorced by Law and ask for protection. Easy to say what ever you like but ask yourselves what you do!

Why the kids are being penalised? How they will live without their mother now? I assume they would be under 10 years of age. I wish I could had stopped them to kill her for her kids, at least.

When will this horrible killing of women. stop?

@Truth The situation here is that they are villagers living in a remote place. It is the honor, dignity, and ego that plays a role in such killings.

What if this was the man then it was okey bahi women feels the same way for love and sex

@Ayesha Does all circumstances you discussed, women may build affair with an other man. This is a local issue and should be dealt with norms and culture of land. Imported solutions and slogan only blow the issue for a short time. If you see the pics of the persons who have killed both women and her paramour are looking confident of what they have committed. Sexual freedom has no place in our South Asian societies, the way we are dealing with the culprits of honour killing which ruin all the family by putting all male members behind the bars for this crime, people may opt for abortion in near future if they come to know they are going to begotten father of a girl. Look at future repercussions and take guide lines from vetren scholars and anthropologist how to deal with this issue.

it takes a lot of time to change society specially uneducated . killing has become a part of us.

Definitely killing is not an option. He could have divorced her. But how can we stop extra marital affairs? There should be a law about this too.

Please educate these people! Or if education can't be provided then Impose strict laws and regulations with strict security system against person committing crime. If someone is interested in someone else, Let her live her own life and get separation. If she is doing something wrong, she will pay for it. How these people think that they are authorized to punish whoever they want.

@Ayesha You have spoken the truth. Poor women are always blamed and punished .Men on the other hand go SCOTT FREE what ever dirty affairs they get involved. .

@D.K. PAMNANI - not really but I have seen a case where the women got a divorce. However the guy having affairs with her refused to marry her. So the husband's shall become smart and divorce them.

@ozzy - punished not by the public but by the law enforcing authority

Vicious people in a society and culture that promotes and supports such reckless and violent actions. I am yet to see a criminal who is appropriately punished for "honour killing".

@mishi Women can control themselves!

@GNM Read the article. A man was killed too.

My Blame to Parents: Why you provide an environment to your family that they ditched into any illegal affairs. I blame to women: When you are married (whether forced) then you should be Honest or dis-respect your parents not your husbands. I blame to men: You know women then why you provide them with open environments.
