Three Jordanian men have been charged with stabbing their older sister and burning her and her house because her "love affairs" gave them all a "bad reputation".
To recap: the younger brothers of a forty year old adult female stabbed her to death and burned her along with her house because her alleged love affairs caused them distress.
As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation).
(an-Nisa 4:15)
Remember that a woman's testimony is less than a man's in the Islamic world and the rate of severe convictions for honour killings.
