This is the extreme side of face. But make no mistake it's not even considered normal in 21st century Pakistan, except maybe in the most remote villages.

Gives a little insight into the meaning of 'face' throughout Asia.

For pitys sake, how on earth could they possibly believe their daughter would not be westernised, she lived and grew up in England.
If folks are so against the British culture/freedoms/behaviour why stay?

What a waste of a beautiful young life.

I know what I'd do with these monsters who murdered their daughter with their bare hands

Sorry guys, this really got to me.
Yep followed this one myself and totally agree with what you say. To come to this country and raise your family and expect your daughter not to become westernised in anyway beggars belief. To then kill your own beautiful daughter is totally insane.
I just cant understand how you would choose to raise your family in a society that you despise so much.
Spare a thought for Shafileas sister who knew what they had done and eventually got the courage to testify against her parents despite what I would imagine was immense pressure from other family members not to.
A very sad story.
