The implications of daily living in this kind of environment reach far beyond the simple (and effective) words of the article. I was touched. Do I live in a country where fathers beat, molest, or kill their own daughters? Yes. But it is always considered a crime, and punishable as wrong. The world (mine, yours and places far from either of us) has a long way to go before it is the place we wish it to be. Thank you for sharing this article.

Or.... let's stop our pretentious attempts, shut our doors and behave savagely.Let's choose: What kind of a Jordan do you want to be part of?A CRIME IS A CRIME - THERE'S NO HONOR IN THAT! @Rami – that’s not the point – last year’s count was in the 20s I think, but it’s not about how many at all – at the end, as a statistic it can be ignored, coz there are larger numbers dying in traffic accidents, etc.

The point is that Jordan makes huge progressive claims, yet we ‘allow’ criminal behavior against women and the criminals get off easy hiding behind this ‘permission’.

We are all part of the crime if we continue to let this happen. Or…. let’s stop our pretentious attempts, shut our doors and behave savagely.

Let’s choose: What kind of a Jordan do you want to be part of?

A CRIME IS A CRIME – THERE’S NO HONOR IN THAT!

Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Sura 4: Ayah 34

الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاء بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنفَقُواْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللّهُ وَاللاَّتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلاَ تَبْغُواْ عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلاً إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًا

Doesn’t God Himself order Men to “beat” Women if they go astray?

There's no "honor" in killing your own blood...shame on the law. The reason Jordan is so fucking far behind is that we allow what people call “honor” to be above development and moving forward.
