This is why religion should be stamped out world wide. Faith always overrides common sense. Any rational human will tell you that killing your own daughter is abhorrent behavior.

That too, but this is more on honor culture.

Mostly this, even if it's also a thing where religion and culture have intertwined long and deep enough that people unfortunately wouldn't know where one starts and one ends.
