Dancing for death -- a repellant story

 Another story from the Guardian: the murder of Kawthar Bashar al-Husayjawi, an Iraqi teenager (15 y.o.) who was killed by her family for refusing  a marriage they had arranged  for her.  She had been forced into an earlier marriage at 13! She seems to have been denied any practical education or any form of autonomy, but after a year of mistreatment she was able to get a divorce. But her family insisted that Kathwar marry a man  of their choice who  was a drug- and alcohol dealer.

It wasn't long before a group of family members emptied a gun in Kwathar and buried an axe  in her skull,

Here she is. She looks like a kid, but she obviously had a strong backbone.
