Reply #4: I'm not applauding this culturual practice either [View All]

[Nikia]

It is better than "honor killings" that murder rape victims or girls who had premarital sex, especially with someone undesirable, but it follows the same idea. If you are tainted, you deserve to die. There is no forgiveness or redemption in life. The only way to save face is to die.
It may make good literature and film, but in real life it prevents forgiveness and reconciliation and sacrafices someone who did not need to die. Glorifying suicide is not a positive culturual practice.
