I guess they might be going on in some part of the world Many thousands annually in many countries. ======================================================================================= As of 2004, honor killings have occurred within parts of various countries, such as Albania, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Ecuador, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel (within the Arab, Druze and Bedouin communities),[8] Italy, Pakistan, Punjab, the Palestinian territories, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Uganda, United Kingdom and the United States.[9]. In some of these countries, such as the UK, honor killings occur only among non-indigenous groups. According to the UN: "The report of the Special Rapporteur ... concerning cultural practices in the family that are violent towards women (E/CN.4/2002/83), indicated that honor killings had been reported in Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, Punjab, the Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, Yemen, and other Mediterranean and Persian Gulf countries, and that they had also taken place in such countries as France, Germany and the United Kingdom, within migrant communities."[9] ============================================================================= Much more at en.wikipedia.org
