In practice, however, the lines between crimes of honor and crimes of passion are often blurred and any challenge to male authority can elicit retribution, which is sometimes staggeringly brutal.<\/p>\n<p>On May 22, a court in Hanover heard how a 39-year-old Turkish-born Kurd named Nurettin B. attempted to murder his second wife, Kader K., 28, after she asked him to provide financial support for their two-year-old son. State Prosecutor Ann-Kristin Fr\u00f6hlich reconstructed Nurettin B.\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/10441\/germany-muslim-honor-killings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2017 is on track to be a record year for honor violence in Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,48],"tags":[179,195,47],"class_list":["post-6772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-germany","category-islam-in-europe","tag-germany","tag-migration-crisis","tag-multiculturalism"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
