The United Nations tabulates about 5,000 such "honor killings" annually around the world, and they have been documented even in the United States.



Looks like she'll stay in FL until Sept 3rd when there will be a hearing. Check out the update here:

Re: Christian convert runs away from home

A 17-year old girl who fled from her home, fearing her Muslim parents would kill her for converting to Christianity, must go back to Ohio, a Florida judge ruled Tuesday.

Judge Daniel Dawson ruled Ohio has jurisdiction over the case involving the teen, Rifqa Bary.

Before the girl gets sent back, the judge says he needs immigration papers proving her status in the U.S. and proof from the state of Florida that she can continue her virtual schooling and receive credit in Ohio.

She is expected to be placed in foster care when she returns and will also be provided with psychiatric evaluations. Her parents will also receive psychiatric evaluations.

Rifqa can be back in Ohio as early as this week, or by an Oct. 23 follow-up hearing.

Any further updates on this story?

The ruling was released last week. She is not required to go back to her parents, but can stay in foster care until she's eighteen, and then she can live wherever she wants.

Re: Christian convert runs away from home


Gotta say I am a little surprised about that verdict.
But based on that fact that she is nearly an adult.....it's probably the best for her

Re: Christian convert runs away from home


There was a case in Toronto in 2007 in which a 16 year old girl was killed by her father and brother because she refused to wear a hijab. I believe that her mother has also now been charged. This girl's life is absolutely at risk. It is quite possible family members will hunt her down.

In a more recent incident one woman and her three teenage daughters were murdered by the husband and an older son.

I think honour killings are far more common than what we know.

I look foreward to hearing more about this case. The only thing that would cause me to question Rifqa's claim that her parents were extremists is the fact that she was a cheerleader at her school. I question whether her parents would let her dress in a cheerleader uniform and perform with the cheerleading team if they were conservative Muslims. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
