Pat told me this story she watched from TV, and got me interested so I researched a bit more on the internet. It is a case about an Indian girl murdered by her wealth family for marrying a poor guy in order to preserve the honor of the family. This kind of things happen in India almost everyday, it should not be news worthy except as a drop of water in the sea of statistics. The interesting thing about this case is the poor girl is Canadian and her family is living in BC. The family hire killers in India to murder their own daughter. The Indian police has pretty good evidence of this murder case, however because of international law, the Canadian police cannot do anything about them. Instead of going to jail, the murder are simpily walk free. This case exploit a serious loop hole in our legal system. It is definitely illegal to hire a Canadian killer to murder someone in Canada. However, if the murder is take place outside of Canada and the killer is hired there locally, you cannot be convicted. What a perfect murder! This case also exploit the failure in Canada’s multi-culturalism policy. Killing disgracful daughter is acceptable in some Indian culture, which is morally wrong. Immoral acts should not be tolerated in the name of repsecting cultural or religion difference. Canada should change its policy from multi-culturalism to meta-culturalism. Immgrants are only allow to maintian the parts in their culture that is compatiable with the meta-cultural of Canada. Through education and legistrations, the cultural aspects, such as killing dishonour daughter, carrying knifes around, wearing viel, not eating pork, etc, that are incompatiable with secular liberal world view should be gradually eliminated.
