Pakistan police on Friday said a father shot dead his daughter after she refused to delete her account on popular video-sharing app TikTok.
In the Muslim-majority country, women can be subjected to violence by family members for not following strict rules on how to behave in public, including in online spaces.
“The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her,” a police spokesperson told AFP.
According to a police report shared with AFP, investigators said the father killed his 16-year-old daughter on Tuesday “for honor.” He was subsequently arrested.



Note: There is exactly zero religion involved in honor killings; this is a 100% cultural act. Here are some choice quotes from Wikipedia:

So yeah, this is a big problem in many parts of the world and if your reaction to innocent women losing their lives is to make a tired and irrelevant point, then please don’t.

It’s more about extreme actions done in the name of “protecting honor”.
honourego.Yeah I guess dueling is totally fine then?

I mean I’m not defending honor killings because why would any sane person but you sound pretty apologetic towards yet another archaic patriarchal tradition just because it happens to have been part of your culture
Funny then that when they move to another culture, and take it with them, it is always muslims.
