why has princess Misha'il of saudi arabia been killed? and when?

Princess Misha'al bint Fahd al Saud, along with her commoner husband, was executed in 1978. She was killed on a trumped up charge of adultery; he was killed for trying to escape, along with his wife, from Saudi Arabia.

These kind of murders are common in the middle east and are known as "honor killings". All it takes for a woman to lose her life is the husband or male relative accusing her of a sin such as adultery. Rape victims are often killed by family members as well, as being the victim of rape is a dishonor to the rest of the family. It's disgusting.

She was murdered on the orders of her grandfather for not marrying into a fellow royal and rich family.

She however secretly married a Lebanese (i think), he was no where as wealthy as her Billionaire family, even though he was a fellow Muslim. Anyhow they planned an escape. She shaved her head and dresses as a man to leave the country....they got through security. When in the plane, the Palace had asked for all the planes even to be searched.

The security found both her and her husband and dragged them to the palace where all the princesses in the house at the time were told to witness what was to happen. So they do not follow in Misha'ill's footsteps. The grandad ordered the murder of the husband first. Misha'il pleaded that he was a masoom, an innocent. He was shot first and then so was she. They have been buried in unmarked graves.

I must emphasise that Misha'il did nothing against her religion or anything of the sort. In fact her religion had given her the rights her culture would not. The acts carried out by her family, by murdering her are extremely UN-ISLAMIC and by murdering her have in fact created the biggest sin. As Islam states, killing 1 person is like killing the whole of humanity.

However, these princesses no longer live that sort of life. They today are the Gucci wearing, covered in diamonds 'Paris Hilton's'.

Because....the middle east (except Israel) at best is still living in the 2nd century and we just don't give a cr** about a country that's only export is suicide bombers and oil.
