If American feminists need a genuine example of women victims, they need look no further than international headlines: Pakistani Woman Stoned to Death by Family in Front of Court After Marrying for Love. The Associated Press story cited a Human Rights Commission of Pakistan report that "some 869 women were murdered in honor killings in 2013."
Punishment for these murders is light, according to a prominent Pakistani lawyer and human rights activist, who told AP "the courts either award light sentences to the attackers, or they are acquitted."
