Pakistan police on Friday said a father shot dead his daughter after she refused to delete her account on popular video-sharing app TikTok.

In the Muslim-majority country, women can be subjected to violence by family members for not following strict rules on how to behave in public, including in online spaces.

“The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her,” a police spokesperson told AFP.

According to a police report shared with AFP, investigators said the father killed his 16-year-old daughter on Tuesday “for honor.” He was subsequently arrested.

    I mean… no? Like, like it or hate it the Quran is pretty clear about this. If you disagree, then give me a verse number.

      lol. Even scholars agree that its full of misogynistic bullshit that should be read in a symbolic way. Nice try though but we’ve had this debate for decades.
