Sobre IBD

Arranged marriage and its evil twin , 'honor killings', are invading America through immigrant communities where Judeo-Christian religion is not the accepted practice. Under an insane custom called 'honor killing',a girl can be killed with impunity because she rejects her parents’ choice of a man to be her husband, or because she chooses to become a Christian. Forced marriage of any kind is wrong. It is, just as wrong, indeed, an atrocity when it is forced by adult family members upon a child to an older man. It is also an abomination to force anyone to become a member of any religion the person does not like, or stone a person to death because he or she renounces the family religion in favor of Christianity. In the pages of this book, are the stories of girls in American and Canadian cities and elsewhere who were murdered by their fathers and close relatives under the custom of ''honor killing''. 3
