I was just reading (yes I can read!) an article in a newspaper about a recent incident in India. In India they have a hierarchical system that tells others of your position in society. It is considered an insult to your family if you become involved with people in the wrong position.
Apparently a 15 year old boy and a 16 year old girl were seen walking down the road holding hands. The problem being that the boy was from the bottom of the heirarchy and the girl from the top.
These people were dragged into a shed and their families called. The girls family considered her actions such an insult that the girl was held down by neighbours and strangled by her own family....whilst the boy watched. The boys family said it was up to the girls family to punish him as it was them that were "insulted". So they hung him!
I dont understand what the hell is wrong with these people. Everybody is so stuck on being better than everybody else that they will kill rather than have their families involved with one they consider lesser.
