Suffragette1 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You mean the Panorama programme? Family Honour? Honour! Don't get me started, please. Me neither, am in danger of spontaneously combusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I had to end a relationship with a woman in Sheffield for her safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Quite surprising is the 63% of young Asian women interviewed that agreed families should live according to honour. None so blind as those that refuse to see, as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj.scuba Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The father whose daughter was burnt in Sheffield really annoyed me, wants an inquiry. Good idea, they could start with him, and why he told her to stay with her abusive husband for the sake of his honour. The father is as culpable in what happened to his daughter as the abusive husband and in laws, but looks everywhere else for someone to blame despite the pleas from his daughter.

He must feel so guilty about it now, I hope he regrets it until his dying day and it keeps him awake and suffering every night. I trust, if he has any other daughters or grandaughters, he's learned his lesson. In fact, why isn't he campaigning against it, instead of wandering about bemoaning his lot? Pathetic!

And I seldom agree with mj.scuba, so may have to go and lie in a darkened room. He more or less sentenced her to a life of imprisonment in her near vegetative state. Tragic, utterly tragic.

Personally I'd give it...warts and all, on record and no holds barred. Ironically his plea for an inquiry probably has more to do with his honour than the injustice meted out to his daughter.

I wonder if it has made him question his faith and the status (or lack thereof) women in his belief system? And indeed, why is he not campaigning?

spooky3 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 One of the things about the program which made me think was how it was said about not being able to speak English, how to reach those? A billboard campaign in various languages? Letter drop at various times through the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
