As well as being beaten, women are commonly attacked with acid in Pakistan and Iran for such infractions as dressing too Western, not wearing hijab, or cutting their hair. Women are not even afforded the basic freedom of choosing what to put on their body. They have no autonomy over themselves. All of this stems from the edicts of honour culture. A culture that sanctions this control of women. A large part of this effort is to control women so they do not lose their virginity before they are given to their husbands.
