I watched the full documentary last night Jaxie, and it's quite horrendous how these men get away with murder or attempted murder by the victim or their family being practically forced to forgive. That young girl was left for dead and her face scarred for life and she didn't want to forgive her father and uncle for what they did to her; her older brother was the who was given the right to decide if they would be forgiven or not, it's just disgraceful. All because the man she chose to marry was poorer than they were!

What other choice do they have. If the father and uncle were not forgiven and went to jail the community would shun the family and give them no help in the future. Then after a few years they would be released and probably make sure they killed her this time. These men go on about honour and respect, what honour is there in shooting your daughter and dumping her body in the river?
Crazy stuff - and her mother and sister were as bad, agreeing with the men that they had done the right thing.
As there is no real deterrent to murdering woman if they don't toe the line and bring so called 'dishonour' on the family, these awful crimes continue. How can that be in this day and age?
