In the Name of Honour

Written by: Shalini Varatharajah

Three young girls, one older one. All beautiful, and all deserving to live. Instead their lives cut short, all in the name of honour. Zainub Shafia (19 yrs old), Sahar Shafia (17 yrs old), Geeti Shafia (13 yrs old) and Rona Mohammad (52 yrs old). It’s a murder case that captivated Canadians all across Canada, how did a father, a mother and son murder their own family? That too, in the name of honour?
