First, I must doubt how true the story is, afterall the media only spices things up to get their audience fired up. The worse the story, the more it sells.
However, if these accounts of the story were completely accurate, then it's despicable! It's awful how a father would do such a thing to his own daughter then use Islamic Sharia as a shield to his horrible actions because he's too much of a coward to own up to them. I'm sure Islam doesn't allow such manipulation of a 15 year old into such a marriage, and then force her into prostitution.
Furthermore, honour killing is completely a "cultural" thing rather than "religious". I hate how culture and religion keep getting entangled. I also don't like the fact that most Muslims in Britain are from countries such as Pakistan or India because those countries don't represent all the Muslims, they mostly represent the conservative, uneducated bunch. I'm not being racist or anything, I'm just looking at the facts.
