I can even understand the concept of family honour.

The problem here isn't the people, it's the fucked up religion they believe in.

wut?

you support honor killing too?

In South Asia, acid throwing attacks have been used as a form of revenge for refusal of sexual advances, proposals of marriage and demands for dowry.
Scholars Taru Bahl and M.H. Syed say that land disputes are another leading cause. In Bangladesh, where such attacks are relatively common, they are mostly a form of domestic violence.

^^It still doesn't. But we are in the 21st century now, not the freaking 13 century BC. The punishment for acid attacks should be you get acid in your face as well.

In Iran's legal system, there is a kind of justice called qisas -- blood money, or retaliatory punishment, that pre-dates Islam (it can be found in the Old Testament of the Bible). It's more commonly understood as "an eye for an eye" -- punishment that equals the crime, so to speak.

Qisas has two basic components: the victim can either forgive the assailant (or in the case of a murder, the victim's family can be the forgivers) and therefore be compensated financially, or a punishment that fits the crime can be administered, i.e. capital punishment for murder.

how much acid are these guys just randomly carrying around that would kill someone?
