When you read the article below from DAWN, you will see the term " Karo-Kiri " used - the definition of that is:
Karo-Kari is a type of premeditated honour killing, which originated in rural and tribal areas of Sindh, Pakistan. The homicidal acts are primarily committed against women who are thought to have brought dishonour to their family by engaging in illicit pre-marital or extra-marital relations. In order to restore this honour, a male family member must kill the female in question.
You know, just further evidence of the "advanced" nature of Islam.
