Abstract
The murder of Samia Sarwar Imran in Pakistan, on April 6, 1999, demonstrates that honor crimes do not only take place among the poor and the uneducated. At the time of the cold-blooded killing, the victim’s father, Ghulam Sarwar Mohmand, was president of the Sarhad Chamber of commerce and industry in Peshawar. Her mother, a gynecologist, played an active role in the young woman’s death.
