FluffyMcDeath said:The quotation you originally picked out and without context seemed to give the impression that the family would suffer consequences for something the woman did but in the context of the story it reads more like the consequences to the family from the community are because of the charges against the father and the brother. That would imply that he has some inkling of the attitude of the general population towards killing family members.
The entire family will suffer consequences for the daughters actions (dating a Hindu, the "unnamed man") unless they regain their honor by killing her.

The institutionalized misogyny of Islam is doctrinal, part of the the Qur'an, the Hadith, and Sunna which form the basis of Shar'ia Law.
