Why do families kill their daughters?

The stoning to death of a pregnant Pakistani woman by her own family has thrust the issue of so-called honour killings into the spotlight that is the killing of a member of a family who is perceived to have brought dishonour upon relatives.

the most common reasons are that the victim:

• refused to enter into an arranged marriage
• was the victim of a sexual assault or rape
• had sexual relations outside marriage, even if only alleged

this can be carried out for more trivial reasons, like dressing in a way deemed inappropriate or displaying behaviour seen as disobedient

The idea that a murder can be honourable is believed to come from tribal customs where an allegation against a woman can be enough to defile a family's reputation - the idea that "a life without honour is not worth living". I think that we should not kill woman. if we keep killing woman the number of woman will decrease and the reproduce rate will also decrease.
