Death Over Virginity
Filed under: Weird/offbeat/WTF news
In Jordan, people routinely kill family members for the disgraceful loss of virginity. Like this fine, hymen-loving man.
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.
Authorities have not disclosed the names of the father or the daughter or even their hometown, saying only that they lived in a southern province.
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.
It’s maybe safe to assume that many Jordanians will all shoot their heads if you shove them in a room where all their female kids are having an orgy. It would be a blast if you time that nasty joke on New Year’s day.
