Yes, of course they are, but they still happen.......the family 'torched' in Blackburn(wrongly) was a very recent incident.
But these honour killings do not always happen in this country. The errant women are often lured back to their country of origin(your grandma is ill...likely to die.....off goes the girl and is accosted not far from the airport and done to death).
I am not saying that I agree with these operations......I don't because repairing a perforated hymen does not make you a virgin again......but proof of virginity is required in a muslim marriage.......there has to be blood on the sheets to prove purity.
I am just explaining how the women come to get the operation done on the NHS.....but I have never seen one done in the quarter of a century that I worked on the gynae unit.
