SIR - Re the proposed debate on "honour killing" (T&A, September 5). Why are we contemplating any such debate?

Surely all people living or visiting our country have no option other than to obey our laws...in their entirety.

The law of the land is not ambiguous on the question of anyone deliberately killing another human being, it is against the law and is punishable by due process of the law.

To give any branch of our society the right to go against this law is to open the gates to anarchy and dispense with any form of civilisation. Where will it all stop?

The law of the land is paramount and above all other laws. Killing, no matter what name is put before it, is against our law...end of story!

I accept that in some countries honour killing is acceptable, maybe even mandatory, but not in our country.
