It appears that the leaders of the various ethnic communities are not
doing much to change cultural tenets to aviod these incidents, and
neither are the Social Services. When women stop being abused in
arranged marriages, and when 'honour' killings are outlawed by those
communities then maybe, just maybe, these suicides will stop.SB
