This is a pretty common thing happening in India and its neighbouring countries. I wonder if anything like this is likely to happen in the west. Check the site.

If someone's honor is so frail that they need to murder someone in order to gain it back, they should kill themselves instead so they don't have to live any longer with the shame of their personal dishonor and leave others the hell alone.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."

Hmmm... So you're saying the mafia is still at large in sicily?
I thought, as the westerners(most of them) present a more cultured and progressed society, these type of killings are not prevalent over there. Thinking
