#1 Ok, first of all, and maybe I am missing something, why does the boyfriend get 20k Euros as compensation? Compensation for what?

Tempini burst into tears when the sentence was read out

Second, and more important, WTF? If my name is Giuseppe Tempini I should not go to the law, testify then burst into tears when justice is done. I should go to the real law, explain the problem to Don Tempini and get ready to dig at least three more graves in that garden.

#2 I believe similar compensation schemes happened after 9/11, Excalibur. I have no problems with this. Besides, in the US a man in a similar situation would bring a civil suit too.

It's a good idea for a nation to formally say it disapproves of such dishonor killings.
