“Ghazaale was eighteen years old, pretty, and full of life. The men in her family accused her of desecrating the family honor. Their words killed her even before a single shot was fired. These cases are burried in the dark and that's where they stay: no questions asked and no information offered. It's done. The family "cleaned its name," burying the rumors together with the body.”
