Iran: Uncle murders niece with hunting rifle because she wanted to marry for love over family’s opposition
In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
15-year-old Sanaz Mehrabi shot dead by her uncle in ‘honor’ killing case
Hengaw, August 11, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Sanaz Mehrabi Dashtaki, a 15-year-old girl from Marvdasht County, Fars province, was murdered by her uncle in an “honor”-motivated crime after her family opposed her decision to marry the person she loved.
According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Mehrabi was shot by her uncle in Dashtak village, Marvdasht County, on Thursday, July 30, 2026.
Informed sources said her uncle targeted her with a hunting rifle because she wanted to marry the person she loved despite her family’s opposition. She died from her injuries….
Somehow, murdering your daughter or niece for falling in love brings honor to Muslim families. That tells you just how screwed up and utterly mad some of these people are.
