FOX News (via The Jawa Report) tells that another case like this has come up in Illinois:
Illinois police are searching for a missing teenage girl who authorities say ran away from home to avoid an arranged marriage, MyFoxChicago.com reports.While it's amazing that this mentions "honor crime", it does not mention Islam's involvement. That's another clue that even FOX cannot be trusted to deliver a proper report on these kind of cases.
Zaineb Chaudhary, 16, was last seen March 11 at Niles North High School in Skokie, Ill.
Officer Tammy Jacobsen of the Skokie Police Department told the station that Zaineb's father visited his native Pakistan in October to arrange a marriage for his daughter.
"He has stated that he was there, looking for marriage arrangement for his daughter," Jacobsen said in an interview.
Police said the girl's disappearance could be viewed as a disgrace by her family and want to protect her from any possible "honor crime," according to the station.
