A JORDANIAN man slowly strangled his 16-year-old married sister, using wire
and the girl’s scarf, after she visited a female friend because he had to
“cleanse family honour”.
After jailing the unidentified 20-year-old man for seven years, Judge

his sister to death with a metal wire and her own scarf.”
The girl, who had been married for six months, died in January in the Gaze

“I handed down the defendant a 15-year sentence on Sunday, but his family
gave up their legal rights and the sentence was reduced,” Hassan Amayreh
said.
