I object to the lack of choice these women have. When they don't agree, or choose to speak out, they are forced and sometimes killed.

Dear Jane,
Gosh... is he sure that's the reason? Usually you have to do something like commit a political crime or have sex outside of wedlock to be beheaded. From what I hear and what I have read, they do not even usually fine the women or anything, thinking that the shame they bring on their families for not acting like upstanding citizens is punishment enough.
