There is no ‘honour’ in killing

Rizwan's case is different. Any father of stature Ashok Todi will not see his daughter at the hands of dirt poor, cheat. He had money and can not punish his daughter. So, the poor chap had to secrifice.

Special law is required to protect women, when society is not treating them properly. You may not see attrocities against women in your place, but cow belt and Pakistan etc. are totaly different place. Sitting in Kolkata, it is better to stop commenting about something in Pakistan.

As Rizwan's and Chiranjeevi's daughter's cases have showed, the Indian girl enjoys a very strange and perplexing relation with the father, who is just as willing to kill her, as he could be against any 'son-in-law' whom he does not like, as the recent Aarushis murder case has proven.

Here are a few links where the girls father has been involved against his son-in-law :

Only yesterday, a 30 year old coolie in a village, Bodi, Tamil Nadu, was lynched to DEATH by his father in law, who claimed to the police later, that the man came up to his house 'drunk' ( a huge crime! ), and 'beat' his daughter ( who knows! ). But male lives are expendable, especially for the cause of the huge female ego! The laws and judiciary are blatantly unfair!

There are too many scorned females out there today, who will support this father-in-law to get away with his crime. Too mesmerised by their personal vendetta, they carry it over to ALL males, who they oppose.

"The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan recorded over 600 cases of ‘honour’ killings or ‘karo kari’ last year" -- wow.
In the nearest language, it always works.

What would make us a better, stronger nation: dealing with the issue, or burying it in the sand?

Definitely dealing with the issue.
