But an anonymous letter was sent to her family accusing her of betraying her traditional roots and behaving like a prostitute. Her father believed the only way of cleansing this shame was through the death of her daughter. He stabbed her 11 times and slit her throat, with such force that the tip of the blade snapped.

They came from feuding branches of the same landowning family. Afsheen’s father confessed he had strangled his 23 year old daughter to protect the family’s honor. “When I have no honor, I have nothing. Honor is the only thing a man has”. Afsheen’s family is educated and full of engineers and lawyers, and when Afsheen finished her studies, she was married off to a cousin. A few weeks later, she ran off with Hassan, but her family found her and forced her to return. 5 days later she was dead.
