During the war, soldiers entered the village and raped all the women.
Only one woman resisted the soldier who broke into her home. She struck back, killed him and cut off his head. After the soldiers left, all the women came out of their houses, crying and holding up their torn clothes - except for the woman who was fighting.
She came out carrying the soldier's head in her hands. Her eyes were full of pride and she said, "Did you really think I was going to let him rape me without killing him or him killing me?"
The women of the village looked at each other and decided to kill her, so that she would no longer be proud of her honor - and so that their husbands, when they returned home, would not ask them why they did not resist like she did. She was attacked and killed.
(They killed honor so they could live with their shame.)
The same is happening with corrupt people in our society today. They destroy and isolate every honest person, so that there are no witnesses to their corruption.
