Horrified by the recent murder of Kawthar al-Husayjawi, one of her female relatives describes what happened – and her fears for other women and girls forced into early marriage in Iraq
The headline is misleading. The article is even worse.
The girl was not killed for refusing to marry. The girl ran away from home over the marriage (the strategy had worked for her to get out of her first marriage, at age 13). She was caught by a neighbor who did something bad to her (she did not want to say what and her family did not want to hear it). When her family found her 3 days later, they killed her for hiding at the neighbor’s house (despite the fact that she was taken there unwillingly).
Why wouldn’t people up vote? The original comment said the main article was worse than the headline, and summarised why they thought so. What are you objecting to?
The…wrongness…The article is not even worse. The article says exactly what he claims it doesn’t. And regardless, the point is that she was ultimately killed because she tried to escape. The family’s justification is worthless, and irrelevant.

All of this is in the article. I don’t understand why you have 40 people agreeing with you.

Worse as in the actions described are even more vile, not inaccurate.
Those two sentences together cannot possibly be referring to the actions.
