Honour crimes

 
 
Shaykh Tusi:  And whoever kills a man, then claims that he found him with his wife, or in his house, he is killed with him, or establishes evidence for what he said.
ومن قتل رجلا، ثم ادعى أنه وجده مع امرأته، أو في داره، قتل به، أو يقيم البينة على ما قال.

Indeed, many countries have laws legalizing the murder of women by their relatives. For example, Article 220 of the Iranian Criminal Code states: “If a father — or his male ancestors — kill their children, they will not be prosecuted for murder.” Last year on International Women's Day, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights' Pillay said, “The problem [of honor killings] is exacerbated by the fact that in a number of countries, domestic legal systems … still fully or partially exempt individuals guilty of honor killings from punishment.37
For example, in Kuwait, “He who surprises his wife in the act of adultery … or surprises his daughter, mother or sister in the act of sexual intercourse with a man and immediately kills her … shall be punished by prison for a period not more than three years,” according to Article 153 of the Penal Code.”38
The penal code in Jordan says, “[H]e who discovers his wife or one of his female relatives committing adultery and kills, wounds or injures one of them is exempted from any penalty.” Article 98 provides for a reduced sentence if the crime was committed in extreme “rage.”39

Article 630- When a man sees her wife committing zina with another man, provided that he is certain that his wife is willing [to have sex], he can kill both of them in the same position; however if he knows that his wife acts under coercion, he may only kill the man [i.e. her rapist]. The same rule applies to assault and battery.

March 6, 2012: Article 409 reduces a murder sentence to a maximum of three years if a man "surprises his wife or one of his female dependents (who is) in a state of adultery or finds her in bed with a partner and kills her immediately, or kills one of them."


http://www.niqash.org/en/articles/society/3227/ 
May 30, 2013:  He was sentenced to three years in prison for murder – which is the penalty for what are called “honour crimes” in Iraq. This sentence is set by Article 409 of Iraq’s penal code, which “reduces a murder sentence to a maximum of three years if a man ‘surprises his wife or one of his female dependents (who is) in a state of adultery or finds her in bed with a partner and kills her immediately, or kills one of them’.”
One of the young woman’s friends says she told him she was forced to marry her husband by her family in an arranged marriage but that she never loved him. “She told me that she had asked her husband for a divorce many times but that he refused,” the friend says.
In a conservative society, where tribal and religious codes of conduct prevail, honour killings are not unusual. And even if a man is reluctant to murder his own wife there are others who are willing to do the job for him.
“My friend discovered that his wife was having an affair with another man and he only wanted to divorce her and put an end to his marriage,” another local man tells NIQASH. “But his brothers knew about what the wife did. They kidnapped the wife and forced the husband to go with them by putting sleeping pills in his food. So he inadvertently took part in her murder.”
Two days later, the police found the woman’s body I the Shuaiba desert, outside of Basra. This is a common thing to do with the bodies of women slain in honour killings.
“The most honour crimes - committed either by a woman’s relatives or by unknown persons - are most common in Basra, then Zubair and then Shatt al-Arab,” Hassam Fadel Khalaf, a member of the community police, which is tasked with solving social conflicts like these, says.
Although there are no accurate statistics per region, Iraq’s Ministry of Human Rights reports that around 160 women were killed in honour crimes over the last two years. Part of the reason for this, is that an honour crime can be hidden.

امام ہندوانی سے سوال کیاگیا کہ اگر کوئی شخص اپنی بیوی کے ساتھ کسی غیر کو بدفعلی کرتے ہوئے موقعہ پرپائے تو اس کو جائز ہوگا کہ اس غیر مرد کو موقعہ پر قتل کردے؟تو آپ نے جواب میں فرمایا اگر خاوند کو یقین ہوکہ یہ زانی شورمچانے یا پٹائی کرنے سے باز آجائے تو قتل کرنا حلال نہ ہوگا اور اگر خاوند کو یقین ہو کہ ڈانٹ ڈپٹ سے باز نہ آئے گا بلکہ قتل
ضروری ہے تو قتل کرنا حلال ہوگا اور اگر بیوی کی مرضی اس میں شامل ہے تو اس کو بھی قتل کرنا حلال ہوگا جیسا کہ نہایہ میں ہے۔(ت)

Islam has prescribed severe penalty for a serious offence like adultery. Some of the aspects are given in the points mentioned below.
1) If a person commits an incestuous fornication he is to be killed according to Islamic laws.
2) If one sees that a stranger is fornicating with his wife, then he can kill both of them if he considers himself safe in doing so. But if he does not feel safe or if he does not wish to kill them, then apparently his wife is not prohibited for him.

Honor killings among Yazidi refugees in Europe

Dana pointed out that, since the founding of Israel in 1948, there have been only 80 cases of Druse men marrying non-Druse women. In each case the man was cast out of the Druse community “as if he had died.” “They even erase his name from the records,” said Dana.
There are only two cases of women marrying non-Druse. Both women were killed.
“One of these cases took place in Rama. The girl was killed but no official investigation was made,” said Dana. The other girl – Idtihaj Hassun, from Daliat al-Carmel – was killed by her family and members of her community after she eloped with a local Arab man, he said.

Dec 2006:
Dragging, flogging, hanging and shootings fall within the routine procedure of these executions which are taking place in growing numbers. In a Shia part of Baghdad, a sector which includes Nuwab Al Thubat and Al Amin, 3 girls were killed in one week –second week of November.
On Thursday November 9, one of these executions was witnessed by an OWFI activist who was assigned to go and investigate the previous killing of two girls. While passing in Nuwab Al Thubat, pedestrians were surprised to hear a young woman screaming in that area. She was pulled by armed members of Al Mahdi militia, beaten badly in front of all. She was dragged by a wire wound around her neck to a close-by football field and then hung to the goal post. They pierced all her body with bullets. Her brother came running trying to defend his sister. He was also shot and killed.
Al Mahdi Shia militia guards - many of whom work as policemen – volunteer to punish “adulterer” women by torture and public execution.
Although the Shia clerics have legalized Mutaa (pleasure) temporary marriages, most of the women who practice it are subject to honour-killing at the hand of their male relatives or the volunteering Al Mahdi Militia.
Sunni Militias: kill both women and men who practice some suspected behavior. If a young man stares at a girl or smokes a cigarette, he will be flogged and maybe killed.
Although honour killing numbers rose considerably after the war, systemic public executions of women is a new phenomenon. In our estimation, no less than 30 women are executed monthly for honour related reasons at the hands of these militias in Baghdad and suburbs.

June 6, 2007: Duaa’s case is not the first time conversion and marriage prohibitions have led to violence. A few months before she died, a family killed their daughter because she had converted to Islam. They shot her with a single bullet to the head, and little attention was paid to the case.
Two months before Duaa’s death, a Yezidi man from Shekan, a village near Bashiqa, eloped with a Muslim girl. The girl was later found beheaded, allegedly by Muslims from her own village, and several Yezidi houses and religious sites were set alight.
These incidents may help explain why the killing of Duaa escalated so swiftly into bloodshed between Muslims and Yezidis.

April 27, 2008: A Shia father, Abdel Qadri Ali, from Basra killed his 17-year old daughter after she became infatuated with a British soldier. Abdel-Qader, 46, a government employee, was initially arrested but released after two hours. Astonishingly, he said, police congratulated him on what he had done. 'They are men and know what honour is,' he said.



http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/barbaric-honour-killings-become-the-weapon-to-subjugate-women-in-iraq-816649.html 

April 27, 2008: At first glance Shawbo Ali Rauf appears to be slumbering on the grass, her pale brown curls framing her face, her summer skirt spread about her. But the awkward position of her limbs and the splattered blood reveal the true horror of the scene.

The 19-year-old Iraqi was, according to her father, murdered by her own in-laws, who took her to a picnic area in Dokan and shot her seven times. Her crime was to have an unknown number on her mobile phone. Her "honour killing" is just one in a grotesque series emerging from Iraq, where activists speak of a "genocide" against women in the name of religion.

In the latest such case, it was reported yesterday that a 17-year-old girl, Rand Abdel-Qader, was stabbed to death last month by her father for becoming infatuated with a British soldier serving in southern Iraq.

In Basra alone, police acknowledge that 15 women a month are murdered for breaching Islamic dress codes. Campaigners insist it is a conservative figure.

Violence against women is rampant, rising every day with the power of the militias. Beheadings, rapes, beatings, suicides through self-immolation, genital mutilation, trafficking and child abuse masquerading as marriage of girls as young as nine are all on the increase.

Du'a Khalil Aswad, 17, from Nineveh, was executed by stoning in front of mob of 2,000 men for falling in love with a boy outside her Yazidi tribe. Mobile phone images of her broken body transmitted on the internet led to sectarian violence, international outrage and calls for reform. Her father, Khalil Aswad, speaking one year after her death in April last year, has revealed that none of those responsible had been prosecuted and his family remained "outcasts" in their own tribe.

"My daughter did nothing wrong," he said. "She fell in love with a Muslim and there is nothing wrong with that. I couldn't protect her because I got threats from my brother, the whole tribe. They insisted they were gong to kill us all, not only Du'a, if she was not killed. She was mutilated, her body dumped like rubbish.

"I want those who committed this act to be punished but so far they have not, they are free. Honour killing is murder. This is a barbaric act."
Despite the outrage, recent calls by the Kurdish MP Narmin Osman to outlaw honour killings have been blocked by fundamentalists. "Honour killings are not actually a crime in the eyes of the government," said Houzan Mahmoud, who has had a fatwa on her head since raising a petition against the introduction of sharia law in Kurdistan. "If before there was one dictator persecuting people, now almost everyone is persecuting women.



https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/30/iraq-honor-killings-women
30 Nov, 2008:
Authorities in the southern Iraqi city of Basra have admitted they are powerless to prevent 'honour killings' in the city following a 70 per cent increase in religious murders during the past year.
There has been no improvement in conviction rates for these killings. So far this year, 81 women in the city have been murdered for allegedly bringing shame on their families. Only five people have been convicted.
During 2007 the Basra security committee recorded 47 'honour killings' and three convictions. One lawyer in the city described how police were actively protecting perpetrators and said that a woman in Basra could now be murdered by hired hitmen for as little as $100 (£65).
The figures come despite international outrage which followed The Observer's coverage of the death of 17-year-old Rand Abdel-Qader, who was murdered by her father last April in an 'honour killing' after falling in love with a British soldier in Basra. The 4,000 British troops stationed in the city since the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003 withdrew to the airport last September.
Rand Abdel-Qader was killed after her family discovered that she had formed a friendship with a 22-year-old infantryman whom she knew as Paul. She was suffocated by her father then hacked at with a knife. Abdel-Qader Ali was subsequently arrested and released without charge.
Rand's mother, Leila Hussein, who divorced her husband after the killing, went into hiding but was tracked down weeks later and assassinated by an unknown gunman. Her husband had told The Observer that police had congratulated him for killing his daughter.
Seven months after the murders, the problem of these killings in Basra has become worse, according to lawyers. Ali Azize Raja'a, an Iraqi prosecutor who has represented the victims of 32 'honour killings' since 2004, said that, despite accumulating sufficient evidence to prove who was responsible in each murder, he had won only one case.
He said that the greatest issue was the decision by police to release suspects. Seven in 10 of those thought to be responsible for such a killing have left the city, with little attempt made to track them down.
The father of Rand is also understood to have left Basra. He was held by police in connection with his daughter's murder for only two hours. A local businessman who described the actions of Rand's father as 'courageous' is believed to have given a considerable sum of money to him and his two sons, who disowned their mother after she objected to Rand's killing. Raja'a said that when he was approached by Leila over Rand's case, his family was threatened by relatives.
Another Iraqi lawyer, who requested anonymity, said that some fathers had started to hire professional hitmen to carry out 'honour killings' which were then covered as 'sectarian murders'. He said: 'The life of these women isn't higher than $100. You can find a killer standing in any coffee shop of Basra, discussing prices of a life as if he was buying a piece of meat.'
Mariam Ayub Sattar, an activist in Basra, said that any woman caught speaking to a man in public who was not her husband or a relative was considered a prostitute and punished. A fortnight ago three women were burned with acid while walking through a market in Basra after stopping to speak to a male friend, Sattar said.
Nine of the 12 voluntary organisations helping women in Basra have closed down since the US-led invasion.
The Women's Rights Association in Basra was forced to close down after death threats were made following the murder of Rand's mother last May. Two women from a voluntary organisation who had been helping her to hide from her husband were also injured.
Alia'a Obeidi, the organisation's president, said that one of her colleagues was killed while driving to work and, fearing for her family's safety, she later moved to the Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
The Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights said that it was working on new projects to end gender discrimination in the country. 'We try to make a difference by teaching students at schools about gender equality, but it only will be possible when parents don't teach the opposite at home,' said Hameed Walled, senior official in the Ministry of Human Rights.

23 April 2009: A young woman imprisoned in Tikrit, north of Baghdad, sent a letter to her brother last summer, appealing for help. The woman, named Dalal, wrote that she was pregnant after being raped by prison guards.
The brother asked to visit her. Guards obliged. The brother walked into her cell, drew a gun and shot his visibly pregnant sister dead.
....
The DNA results showed that the father of the unborn baby was a police lieutenant colonel who reportedly supervised guards at the prison.
In another society, the scientific evidence would have led to arrests and prosecution. But this being Iraq, the power wielded by men in uniform and the belief that a raped woman is better off dead combined to cloud the truth.

July 9, 2009: According to Press for Peace, a local NGO in Muzaffarabad, Miss Firdous Shaheen, 22, who is a Shiite and belongs to a wealthy and influential family in Muzaffarabad, married Mr. Zamir Lone, 26, who is Sunni, in April 2009 without her parent’s knowledge. It should be noted that the lower plate of Muzaffarabad is predominately comprised of Shiites. 

Shaheen’s family were reportedly very angry about the match, and her father Mr. Syed Hussain Shah Bukhari tried and failed to engage the support of Shiite neighbours in the sectarian affair..
. Mr. Bukhari went to the police and lodged a First Information Report (FIR: an official document for further legal proceedings) against the groom and the groom’s family claiming that they abducted his daughter.

17 Dec 2009: LONDON - A Kurdish father has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murdering his 15-year-old daughter because she fell in love with a follower of a different branch of Islam.

A London judge gave Mehmet Goren, 49, a minimum 22-year prison sentence Thursday for his so-called "honour killing" of daughter Tulay, who disappeared a decade ago and was never found. He also was convicted of attacking her boyfriend with an axe.

Prosecutor Damaris Lakin said the fish-and-chip server killed his daughter for having a relationship with a Sunni Muslim. The Gorens adhered to the Alevi branch of the faith, which is linked to the rival Shiite sect of Islam.

"He killed his own daughter because he believed that she had shamed him," Lakin told the court. "His conviction today shows that the true shame was, and always will be, his to bear."

FAISALABAD, March 6 A girl was stabbed to death by her uncle and a cousin for honour in Mehmoodabad in the limits of Mansoorabad police station here on Saturday.
Deceased Huma was the daughter of a singer and known Shia noha khawan, Hassan Sadiq.
Huma, who allegedly eloped with her lover, had returned to her house after a few days. Her father had a case registered against four brothers Khawar, Zulfiqar, Ijaz and Bagga on Jan 4.
On Saturday, Huma exchanged hot words with her uncle Salamat Ali, a known flute expert, when the latter asked her to mend her ways. Falling into a rage, Salamat and Tariq stabbed her to death and later both of them surrendered to police.—Staff Correspondent


http://theterrorland.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/isi-involved-in-honor-killing-incidents.html
11 August 2010:
Assistant Professor Manzoor Ali of the Karakoram International University (KIU) Gilgit was one of the criminals involved in the killing of Shila. Besides being a teacher at the physics department, he is also president of the Ismaili Regional Council Gilgit. Thus he uses his influence at both places (but he claims that his influence is being used at both places!!). 

Manzoor Ali, commonly known as Prof. Manzoor, had phoned the father of Shila and asked him to save the “honor" of Shia Ismaili Muslims by killing his daughter, who had talked to a man belonging to the Shia Ithnā‘ashry Muslim community—thus compelling the poor man to take the hardest decision of his life!

Prof. Manzoor also used this trick in my case. When I was still at the university hostel, during a day-long meeting at the KIU – besides Vice-Chancellor Dr Najma Najam, Registrar Dr Ahsanullah Mir, Additional Registrar Muhammad Hussain, Prof Salma Durrani, Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Ramzan, Director Campus Administration Karim Khan and hostel warden Tahira, Colonel Amin of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Colonel Khushamdin of the Military Intelligence (MI) were reportedly also present on the occasion – Prof. Manzoor abused my brother on the phone to make him emotional so that I get killed for "honor".

“Your traditional trick will not work this time," my brother had told him in his professional cool, calm and composed way. "You along with other criminals of the gang would face the long arm of the law soon!”

22 Feb 2011: 
Iraq's penal code allows lenient punishment for so-called honor killings on grounds of provocation or if the accused had "honorable motives."[68] According to the penal code's article 128, "[T]he commission of an offence with honorable motives or in response to the unjustified and serious provocation of a victim of an offence is considered a mitigating excuse." Article 130 allows the court to reduce a death penalty to one years imprisonment and to commute a life sentence to six months imprisonment where there are such mitigating circumstances.[69] Additionally, Article 409 limits the prison sentence to less than three years for an honor killing of a wife by her husband.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) has characterized honor killings as a serious concern in Iraq, particularly in Iraqi Kurdistan.[70] The Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry for Human Rights reported that for 2008 as a whole there were 163 honor killings and 166 cases the previous year.[71]
The practice is not limited to Kurdistan. In its most recent report, covering the second half of 2009, UNAMI drew attention to reports of alleged honor killings perpetrated in the disputed Kirkuk province.[72]
Women's rights groups say that honor killings remain prevalent in southern Iraq. Hajar L., a women's rights activist in Basra, still vividly remembers the day she witnessed an honor killing as a teenager 14 years ago.[73] She described to us what she witnessed to illustrate the nature of the crimes and their social entrenchment.
Her 35-year-old neighbor, whose husband refused to divorce her, was having an affair. After she was found with the man, her father, who was a mukhtar (head of a neighborhood), along with her brother and cousin, descended on her house carrying daggers. "We all heard the woman's screams but none of us did anything," Hajar said. There was no running water in the house so, after the attack, the men came outside to wash their bloody daggers. When they realized she was still alive, they went back in and finished the job. They emerged a second time, carrying one of the women's dismembered hands. Female relatives started to ululate (helheleh). One of killers raised the dismembered hand and announced to the crowd, "We are from this tribe, and we have cleansed our honor and washed our shame," and then tossed the hand at the feet of a tribal elder.
Because there were so many witnesses, she said, the police had to make an arrest. The brother confessed that he acted alone but received only a six-month sentence under Iraq's penal code, still in effect today.
Today, Hajar works at a community center for women in Basra where she has documented dozens of incidents of violence against women over the past two years. She says that since 2003, honor crimes have increased because of the poor security situation. "The worse the security situation gets, the more people go back to their tribe for help. When there is a lack of security, people revert to tribal justice."[74]
