Dishonor crimes!

Jordan is governed by a set of laws, civil, religious and tribal. Where the civil and religious fall short, the Tribal laws come in to play

A tribal council has the authority to forgive a murderer, and assailant, as easy as drinking a cup of coffee (that's not a metaphor this is literally the procedure, with a cup of coffee, someone can be released from his crime)

With such ideas in mind affecting more than 90% of the society if I want to be on the conservative side (No, I have no statistics), the tribal councils are actually taking the place of civil courts and resolving issues, easing tensions between families and tribes especially in the cases of manslaughter or minor incidents.

But when it comes to major crimes, this huge influence of these councils is actually very destructive. When a man goes out, to kill his own flesh and blood in the name of "reputation" or "Honor", these tribal councils will deliver him from his crime with a drop of a coffee cup! And the Civil low is crippled by people, not even demanding justice. They completely think, it has been served!

If someone runs a poll on the percentage of people who support slaughtering their sisters/daughters for suspecting or proving an affair or a relationship. You will be overwhelmed by the supporters from both genders. The minority that is demanding or asking for tolerance (including yours truly) just has no chance!

Before we can deal with such a consequence of the backwardness of the society many things need to change. MANY, If the law has to substitute people's free will and choice at times for the benefit of the masses and the future, then SO BE IT! Death can never be justified for any reason, even if these women DID in fact do the unthinkable!

The position of the religion on this is clear. Premarital sex is not punishable by death. And this is Sex (not a relation, not hanging out with a guy, not just talking to someone, not fooling around, not fondling, petting, touching, stroking, patting, rubbing, grinding , courting, hugging, kissing, holding or any thing else other than flat out fully fledged penetration sex)

If the religion decided to be this tolerant with young people who are bound to experiment sometimes, why are some people taking it upon themselves to do god's business for him when he hasn't even asked for it!?

To prove some one's relation the religion's position is 4 witnesses have to be there, and they should pass a string between them and that string shouldn't pass. (This is a metaphor for being ABSOLUTELY positive that what they're doing is really what they're doing, because for all we know they can be in the awkward position, then the 4 witnesses pass the string and if it passes... then that's NOT EVEN PUNISHABLE!

EVEN when someone is caught red handed in the act, by 4 people and the string didn't pass. If it's premarital. It's absolutely not punishable by death! Then what the hell is going on in these people's minds!?

I think the first step is education! Someone need to let everyone know what they are not supposed to do. These crazy people can't just keep going around terrorizing families and generations to come

Second step is a firm law that is not bound by tribal "unmerciful-permission-to-slaughter-forgiveness". A law that will protect the innocent, and deter and prevent the assailant. Is your family honor is worth you life in prison and possible a death sentence?...  That's a good question for these people to ask themselves.

How can a father, look into his daughter's eyes and just pull the trigger!!? How!
