Honour killing story
born: 1980
attempted murder: 18 October 2014
Residence: Berlin
Origin: Turkey
Children: 1 daughter
Perpetrator: her husband Sahin (46 years)
In 1998 Yasmin turns 18, she lives in Turkey and her parents marry her. It is only an imam marriage, because her husband Sahin has already married a German through a marriage of convenience.
Yasmin comes to Berlin and has a daughter. Sahin has to return to Turkey in 2002 because his marriage fraud has been discovered. When he returns ten years later, Yasmin has become an independent woman who no longer wants to subordinate herself to her husband. Domestic violence occurs.
In October 2014, Yasmin will talk about a divorce. Her husband stabbed her with a butcher's knife. Then he calls the ambulance - an exculpatory circumstance for lawyers during the attempted murder. Therefore, in April 2015, Sahin will be sentenced by the Berlin regional court to 2 years' and 9 months' imprisonment and payment of damages of 20,000 euros for the pain and suffering caused by the infliction of serious bodily harm.
What is an honour killing? |
An honour killing is a murder in the name of honour. If a brother murders his sister to restore family honour, it is an honour killing. According to activists, the most common reasons for honour killings are as the victim:
Human rights activists believe that 100,000 honour killings are carried out every year, most of which are not reported to the authorities and some are even deliberately covered up by the authorities themselves, for example because the perpetrators are good friends with local policemen, officials or politicians. Violence against girls and women remains a serious problem in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Serbia and Turkey. |
