Honour Killing or Killing the Honour?

Four of her neighbours burnt a 16 year old village girl alive while her father was out for the alleged suspicion that the girl had some sort of physical intimacy with a boy.

Such is the moral policing of the commune.
The points to be raised are nothing new.
Is having a love-relation a crime? Such a crime that the lovers should be killed?

I have nothing to say about it, I am sad.

Few days ago, while discussing about parental rights and selling of babies to the willing couples who want to adopt a child,(Commercializing the Womb) I came across an opposition that parental rights should not be allowed to be sold because only natural-parents can give a good care for the child.
So here is another news related to it.
A father is convicted of raping his own daughter since 9 years regularly. The thing is, the mother of that girl also helped her father to sexually exploit the girl.
