"Tradition" my patootey!
This is simply another way that backwards men in backwards countries continue to try to dominate women and treat them like property or slaves--certainly not as human beings!
It's a disgusting practice, and simply calling it a "tradition" should not make it so!
These from the article itself and comments are very telling:
Zehri [the lawmaker] told a packed and stunned Parliament on Friday that Baluch tribal traditions helped stop obscenity and then asked fellow lawmakers to stop making such a fuss about it. (fuss? what the--?)
Several lawmakers stood up in protest, describing the so-called honor killings as "barbaric."
Ooh they stood up! Well, that's a start.

These are the people who pray 5 times a day...i don't get it! How can some one who worships GOD so much treat women like this?
Well stormybleu002, it's because they DO NOT worship God. They worship the anti-god, the devil, whose domain is this sinful world of ours. For those who don't think there's real evil in the world--tell that to those 5 women who got buried alive.
