Life Sentence for 'Mistaken Virginity' Murderer

Elder of Ziyon has a case of an Egyptian who was sentenced to life imprisonment for a botched wedding-night honor killing. He claims that the prosecution waited 45 days to gather evidence, including whether the victim was indeed not a virgin, as the murderer claimed.

'Justified' honor killings have broad support throughout the Muslim world.
