I think that is a generalization. I don't want to get into these Karachi vs. Lahore polemics, but from what I have seen with my own eyes men do not even spare women who are covered head to toe from their glares, pathetic comments, and in some cases even more. We can't say all men do this in Karachi, but it does occur and we shouldn't deny it.

The topic however of this thread is honor killings and perhaps we should stick to that and help answer the sister's questions.

I have been living in Karachi for the last 4 years and I have never seen this happen. I have heard stories from some other people.

I've never seen anyone treat a woman with disrespect on the street (such as catcalling or lewd comments). When the woman is wearing niqab, men, even the non-religious ones, immediately yield the way.

Karachi is a big city however. I do not get to see much of the areas bordering the water or some of the areas like Nazimabad.

The things some of my family witnessed in Lahore cannot be spoken.
