A Lebanese man was detained a few days ago for killing his wife after catching her in bed with her lover, in the village of Btater in the district of Aley (Mount Lebanon). However, it seems he won’t be doing any serious prison time.
“The woman was having sex with her lover when her husband caught her. He shot her dead while her lover was seriously injured”, said Elnashra‘s correspondent in Aley.
The husband, reportedly in his forties, was arrested and questioned by the police. Unfortunately, it seems that this is another case of “honor killing” which will go unnoticed.
It’s sad to see that some people still think killing is justified in case of adultery. We cannot know all the circumstances surrounding the whole affair, but surely the woman did not deserve to die.
Granted, a husband’s worst nightmare is to catch his wife in bed with another man. Most men would not be able to control their reaction, but for God’s sake this isn’t animal planet!
Dozens of women die in “honor” murders each year in Lebanon, with little to no efforts by the government to curb such crimes.
Sad times.
