Leona Lewis Quotes
I hate having my hair cut so I try not to.

This is another proverb that has the de facto force of law. “Cutting her braid” means the honor killing of a girl who has been morally transgressed, usually sexually by a close relative. Even in earlier times fathers or even brother might have a love for a daughter or sister that would transcend this obligation to protect the family honor. The society to get around this human emotion which might produce total licentiousness if girls were not so disciplined came up with the idea of extending the right and obligation even to the paternal cousins. So if the father would not kill the girl, and the brothers would not, and the paternal uncles would not—or were unable to by reason of age or infirmity—any of the cousins could and should do dispatch the young lady and preserve the family’s honor—hence the term “honor killing.” In many Muslim societies, even today, this proverb is a legal defense against murder.
The general principle applies to politicians consulting various experts in different ways.
