Passion Killings Are Sinful

Let me deviate from my normal submissions on academic education matters to airing my views on this passion killing issue. As I pen down this opinion, I am not comfortable putting the two words together ie ‘Passion and Killing’.

How we as a community came to accept that someone can commit murder in the name of passionately loving the other just baffles me. The most recent incident I read was when a lady murdered her boyfriend who was seeking separation. I am sure so many people are abhorred by the turn of events. Passion Killings are not a new thing, but seem to have become so fashionable and happening at an alarming rate.

Most people in relationships today have had other love relationships before the current one. You would be surprised to learn of the many failed previous relationships that married people can tell.
