Death by stoning: Meanwhile in Pakistan, a love-match brings death by stoning « Why Evolution Is True.
And so we have yet another “honour killing”. It was by stoning, it was a woman (Farzana Parveen) who was killed for the horrible crime of marrying for love, she was pregnant at her death, and she was stoned in front of the High Court Building of Lahore. Oh, and apparently nothing was done to the husband/father. It’s always the women who get punished. A man who marries for love apparently doesn’t besmirch his family’s honour.
How bitterly ironic that Jerry Coyne posted this on his site called “Why Evolution Is True.” This news would seem to suggest that we human beings are not evolving.
