Father kills daughter because he doubted her virginity
AMMAN, Jordan - A Jordanian man fatally shot his 17-year-old daughter whom he suspected of having sex despite a medical exam that proved her chastity, an official said Thursday. The man surrendered to police hours after the killing, saying he had done it for family honor.
The father shot the girl four times in the head on Tuesday. On Wednesday, an autopsy was performed that again showed "she was still a virgin," the pathologist said.
The crime is the first "honor killing" this year in Jordan, where many men consider sex out of wedlock to be an almost indelible stain on a family's reputation. On average, about 20 women in the country are killed by their relatives in such cases each year. Women have been killed for simply dating.

That's what's wrong with those people.. Killing for every small reason.

She deserved it!!!
just kidding
Although, a small part of me believes this is merely the OTHER extreme of the "sexual" spectrum. There has to be an in between. Not killing people because they had sex out of marriage, but also, not going out and humping every attractive human they see.

Is this more disturbing than all the fatal shootings in schools in urban areas over in America?
