This is a World report about the honor killing of a Turkish-Kurdish woman in Berlin. She was allegedly shot to death by her brothers in retribution for leaving her husband by arranged marriage.
There was a similar case in the United States in the early 90s. Back then, it was the father killing his daughter for shaming the family. Again, a Kurdish family, albeit one from Iran and not Turkey.
After this earlier killing happened, I brought up the case with an Iranian friend of mine. Her response: "Well, they're peasants. My family's nothing like that."
