— AFP:  “Man jailed 15 years for honour killing”
— “A Jordanian court sentenced a man to 15 years’ hard labour yesterday after convicting him of killing his daughter for allegedly having sex with her husband before their marriage in 2007.”
— ” ‘The man, in his sixties, knew that his daughter, 25, was involved in an affair with a man, and decided to allow her to marry him,’ a judicial official said.”
— ” ‘But after the wedding he shot her several times. He made sure she was dead, before handing himself in to police and confessing to the crime.’ ”
— “Murder is punishable by death in Jordan but in so-called ‘honour’ cases a court sometimes commutes or reduces sentences, particularly if the victim’s family urges leniency.”
