Iran: Honor
killing – Father kills her newly-wed daughter with shovel
|
A
man beat up her 15-year-old newly-wed daughter with the handle of the shovel in
a bid to punish and dissuade the girl from divorcing her husband, but ended up
killing her.
The
murderer father confessed: "I was mad at my daughter. So, I picked the
handle of the shovel and beat her up so much that she was wounded. I wanted to
force her to stay with her husband. At midnight, she felt really bad and before
we could do anything, she died." (State-run TNews.ir website, January 19,
2016)
The
statics show that forcible marriage of under-age girls in Iran is on the rise
as sanctioned by the law.
