People need to lay off the dad. They are from a different culture. You guys stuck in your bubble, need to realize that cultures differ widely. This type of belief is part of many Asian cultures and although it may not make sense when looking at it from inside your bubble, you need to realize that many of your own cultural customs don't make sense from the bubbles of others either.

If any culture would choose to let innocent people die for the sake of 'honour' when they could have easily been saved then it doesn't need to be understood as 'oh that's a different culture so it's fine'. And quite frankly the sooner cultures like that are wiped off the face of the earth the better.

Bingo.  And before the crazies get all up in arms, culture does not equal the people of that culture.  The belief set needs to go, the people are welcome to get with the program.
