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.
A state forensic pathologist, who works at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Amman where an autopsy was performed, said in a phone interview that the girl had run away from home several times for unknown reasons.
Weeks ago, the girl had returned home from a family protection clinic after doctors had vouched for her virginity and the father had signed a pledge not to harm her, the pathologist said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the case.
“The tests proved that she was a virgin,” the pathologist said. The girl returned home only after her father signed a statement promising not to harm her, he added.
What the hell.
Every time I think that the world has gotten as insane as it could something pops up. A man killed his own daughter… his own flsh and blood. A girl who at one time used to idolize him, who used to cuddle up with her daddy; got shot and killed by him.
And the fact they (Jordan) had to recind a law that sorta made it legal astounds me.
