The people committing honour killing are respected so what we need is education and change of mind set.

Good decision..... killing is killing no matter what name we give or call it... Indeed a good start a good beginning....Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.

Very good decision by the court. People will think twice before killing their own children or relatives.

How often one can find examples of Honor killing, sectarian killing, target killing in this country which is full of religious mosques, madersahs and talking everywhere on region and faith day and night.

No one is above the law and no one should be allowed to take his own justice system. I hope the influential will not come forward to save this criminal in order to save their own so calleed cultural values.

The first time a person killing for honour is awarded a death sentence in Pakistan.
This is a real milestone and needs to repeated in each case.
There is no honour and there are to be no respectable persons in the eyes of law, only the cause of justice, where all citizens are equal.
Christianity and Islam also adhere to the equality of all its followers and other humans in the eyes of the religious covenants.

Education is only way to educate sindh .
Educational dilemma would ensure honour killing dilemma except any hesitation
