To add, :

"Honour" killings and death sentences are usually sanctioned through the panchayat system in Pakistani villages, but they have no legal standing.

Again I'm not saying that they're weren't Muslim but I am saying it doesn't state anything at all about religion. Seems like in this case it's about a father "protecting" his son over anything else
I think you have to look at how religion is involved in state and how a set of beliefs influence the proceedings. For example the idea that someone can be put to death or stoned for things like adultery. I'm not saying anything wildly far fetched here.
