Honour-killing triggers resemble Western domestic-violence triggers

Evidence

The kinds of behaviour for which a woman may be killed include ‘marital infidelity, refusing to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a divorce, flirting with or receiving telephone calls from men, failing to serve a meal on time or “allowing herself” to be raped.’ Apart from cases of arranged marriages, this list would be familiar to anyone studying the patterns of domestic violence in the West. — Sherene Razack, Casting Out, 299

Categorization

• XREF: Directly parallels the ‘Complaints About Immodesty’ essay’s theme of Western moral policing, and the moral panic literature.
• SEED: Article angle: ‘the list is identical to ours’ — how the same controlling behaviours get culturally pathologized when the perpetrator is Muslim.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Sherene Razack, Casting Out: The Eviction of Muslims…, 299
