‘Murder in the name of honour’ is the title of Rana Husseini’s first book, and was also the title of an article, one of her first, that she published in the English language newspaper Jordan Times in 1994, covering the murder of Kifaya, a 16-year-old girl murdered by her brothers after having been a victim of incestuous rape. Other papers in the region covering these kinds of familial murders in an off-hand way, as if they were private matters, refusing to name the phenomenon nor investigate the circumstances to avoid causing further scandal to the family. Rana vowed on that day that Kifaya’s story would not just be another four line story in a newspaper, and to make ‘honour’ killings a national issue in Jordan.
