Farzana Iqbal is one of those who was stoned to death by her family whilst she was pregnant. I don't think even Catholics do this, in spite of the other barbaric things they do.
In that kind of culture some primitive actions are needed to keep the stability of the middle eastern region. Saddam Hussein& Muammar gaddafi, in the case of these men, yes they were butchers and evil, but they did know how to control a radical population. You can't walk into a region and expect to make them peaceful and united through a military front. Peace by force is not peace it's a perversion of the peace process.
Now, as far this woman being stoned to death and yes Catholics they do actions similar to them. Shaming and dis-owning there children who were impregnated without being married. Think about it; being a teen, and being pregnet this is a nightmare case already; add the shaming of your parents and community then being dis-owned and thrown out. That's almost like being stoned death in the west.
So, disowning their daughters for getting pregnant without being married is like being stoned to death...? Nope, I cannot see the comparison to be honest. Whatever happens, if the woman gets disowned, there is still a small chance that they could reconciliate a few years down the line. However, if you stone your own daughter to death, then the possibilities of reconciliation have long since gone. It is a stone age practice and should get in line with the 21st fecking century. You lost a little bit of credibility just by trying to compare the two.
