ANKARA - A 15-year-old girl who gave birth to a child which she said resulted from a rape became the latest victim of so-called “honour killings” in Turkey, newspapers said on Monday.

The young girl, from a mainly Kurdish town near Turkey’s eastern border with Iran, was murdered by an elder brother on Saturday, press reports said.

The victim, named only as Naile, had apparently not been aware she was pregnant until she started feeling unwell and was admitted to a hospital, where she gave birth to a boy, the reports added.

She later told her mother that the pregnancy had resulted from a rape. When other members of the family heard the news, the elder brother shot her dead at point-blank range in a street of the town, and then fled.

1. It's not an honor killing.

It's a murder.

2. You are right that it is murder

I would even say it is dishonorable murder

3. Here, we prefer our women to be murdered by abusive spouses

The larger picture to me isn't "honor killing" or "domestic abuse," it's the role of women as possessions in most of the world. When not legally enforced, it is still often culturally indoctrinated.

4. it's also backward

and stupid.
we need women's rights to cover the planet.

5. Where's the honor?

There is nothing honorable about murdering a person, let alone one's own sister.
