Familial violence against women, unfortunately, happens in all cultures. It gets called "honor killing" when it happens in a few of them.

- bluefirebrand 4y agoCultures where domestic violence is a crime are NOT the same as cultures where domestic violence is encouraged. Cultures that have honor killings are the latter.
- plorkyeran 4y agoNo, it is not socially acceptable (or even expected) to kill family members because they've done something which brings shame to the family in all cultures.
- bandrami 4y agoIt's not "expected" (or "legal") anywhere. That's my point. Family annihilators exist globally and we imagine other societies approve of them.
