Women told: "You have dishonored your family, please kill yourself":

As the Turkish authorities crack down on honor killings with long jail terms, men are requesting their women-folk to commit suicide and thus spare them years of incarceration.

What might be called "honor suicides" are linked to reforms to the penal code in 2005 which mandated life sentences for honor killers. (Previously, killers often received a reduced sentences.)

The law prompted a spate of female suicides, reports Ramita Navai in the Independent.
