Arizona: Muslim Family Arrested After 19-Year-Old Daughter Subjected to ‘Honor Beating’ for Talking to a Boy

Maybe TLC should consider adding the Farhans to their “All American Muslim” lineup. Seems like they’d get along quite well with at least one of the stars of their show …

By Adam Slinger and Angie Holdsworth – “PHOENIX – An Iraqi mother accused of beating her 19-year-old daughter for talking to a boy is back behind bars, along with her husband and another daughter.

Phoenix police told ABC15 that the victim claims her parents and her younger sister beat her, and then tied her to a bed in their home.

The mother, Yursa Farhan, who sat down with ABC15 on Saturday, admitted to hitting her daughter, Aiya, who lied to her and used foul language, but denies ever beating her as police allege.

‘She was talking to a boy and our culture says no boyfriends,’ Farhan said. ‘We have to respect our culture.’

Farhan was released from jail last week, but was re-arrested on Wednesday.

Investigators said Fahan also burned Aiya with a hot spoon as punishment back in November because the teenager refused to marry a 38-year-old man.

Farhan’s husband, Mohammed Altameemi, and their 18-year-old daughter, Tabarak Altameemi, were arrested in connection with the most recent incident.” Read more.
